- [on screenwriting] As I got older I really began to appreciate the work my father did when he was in his prime. I would watch the films he wrote the screenplays for, read the notations and changes he made in his scripts, etc. It became very interesting. I began to think a great deal about it. I realized that the process of writing is what it is all about. If you have a terrible script even the best director can't save the project. Writing is so inspiring. For me it isn't unlike a sculptor creating a work of art, or a painter creating anything he can imagine on a canvas.
- (On being raised by scriptwriter Waldo Salt) "It was actually kind of odd growing up as the daughter of a man who was (at least at the time) a highly established screenwriter. As a young child I thought his actual work seemed boring, I wasn't interested. Of course I loved him very much, but how many kids take a great deal of interest in what kind of work their parents do?"
