I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.

Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

When I retired, I was at an in-between age. I wasn't a child anymore, I wasn't really a woman yet, and they weren't really writing scripts for that age.

I very rarely read a script that I don't feel I want to change a lot.

Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.

Most of the scripts that land on my desk are stuff you read and go, 'Is someone really gonna make this?'

I would never do a sexist script.

I put steam on the table by being an actor. That is how I live. The longer I live, the more expensive it becomes. So I do my work. And I can't be immensely picky. How many beautiful scripts come in one's lifetime? I have had more than anybody, practically.
