I don't think you ever think that you have made it but I did take a look at myself one day and think back to when I was a little girl and it was nice to know that I had at least made it this far.

I think for a couple of years I was believing that I was doing it all on my own and I wasn't.

I created myself. I have taught myself so much.

I don't think of myself all the time.

I don't know if you ever really feel like you've made it.

When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman.

I don't think of my characters as people I create, I think of them more as people I have met and whom I'm exploring on the page. I don't actually think of myself as having 'created' any of these people.

Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.

Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work.
