We have to invent scripts for women where you don't have to go off a cliff at the end after you've done something interesting and when you're sexually active. You know the minute somebody is sexually active and interesting in movies, she's going to die.

To see the way wit functions for all of us--men and women alike--is to see a map of our culture: to focus on things we've seen but not necessarily processed or analyzed; explaining what we've sensed but not yet bothered to define. Humor may have been ignored or challenged, but it has always been a secretly potent, delightfully dangerous, wonderfully seductive and, most importantly, powerful way to make a statement, to tell our stories, to make sure everyone's voice is heard.
