You're allowed to make things for women on television, and there's not like... you don't have to go through the humiliation of having made something directed at women. There it's just accepted, whereas if it's a feature, it's like 'So, talk to me about chick flicks.' It's like... I don't think you want to hear my opinion about this.

From Callie Khouri

There are so many screenwriters with incredible stories to tell, so I hope there will be some kind of shift in the business where very few types of movies are now made by the studios. There needs to be different budgets for different audiences; not everything having to be a huge opening weekend.

From Callie Khouri

Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.

From Callie Khouri

I like writing flawed women, and being one, it's something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority.

From Callie Khouri

For me, the movies I like are all independent. And getting an independent feature made, it's like you get down to the selling organs part, and it just loses some of its luster.

From Callie Khouri

One of the reasons I wanted to do a show about Nashville in Nashville was because when I lived here, the hardest thing to go out and hear was country music. Country was taking place inside the studio and it was an export.

From Callie Khouri

When people know I wrote 'Thelma and Louise,' they don't want to mess with me.

From Callie Khouri

Whenever I've seen shows or films set here, they just don't feel like the real Nashville to me.

From Callie Khouri

I think this happens to a lot of people, men and women, where you reach a point in your life and all of a sudden realize that things have changed. You suddenly realize that people are coming up behind you, that maybe somebody might want to replace you for less money.
