People that know me know I'm very good about doing my own thing and minding my own business.

Uber's issue, I think the biggest one is driverless cars. That could be a complete reset to the business.
I come from the restaurant business; you're talking to a guy used to working 12, 14 hours a day.
Even before my parents died, I felt all the responsibility to my family. I don't know why. In any business, any relationship, if something goes wrong, I feel I am to blame. It's something inside me.

I'm no relation to Lillian or Dorothy Gish. Not even way back. But when I first became interested in acting, I wrote a letter to Lillian Gish. She wrote back, discouraging me from entering the business.

From the moment I got to Hollywood, I've always felt like I never really got to do what I wanted to do.

We are essentially in the business of telling stories. We would like to think that most of our stories are basically human stories with sports as a backdrop.

Overall, I have formed three major organizations: the National Association of Business Women, the Young Women's Leaders Network, and the Joyce Banda Foundation.

That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well, there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.
