I mean, I`m always wary about saying there`s no great roles for women. I guess it`s true and it`s not true. It is the marketplace. Which is a little bit sad, in terms of what studios decide people will think is funny. I think the decisions about what entertains people are made before they know what entertains people. Now it seems really, really about the bottom line. But there is also new media! And it`s easier than ever to make a movie now. . . . If I`m frustrated, I should write a movie or shoot a movie. And 25 years ago you couldn`t.

I believe people are entitled to a private life. I`m not sure where it`s written that because you`re in the public eye you are required to expose your private business, with anybody. It is nobody`s business, and it`s interesting because obviously in today`s marketplace people don`t abide by that. There are no boundaries that people won`t cross...We`re in a bit of a Wild West" thing with media, and, I think, it`s just kind of like no holds barred - the Internet. You know, there are no criteria on the Internet...I`ve chosen a public life to express myself, not to tell what I do with my husband in bed, not to do, to talk about my parents and my family life. And I just think it`s wrong, and obviously it`s an insaitable appetite that people have for gossip and inuendo and things that are nobody`s business. And there`s a term that they use in this called "legitimate public concern." What is legitimate public concern? If an elected official has an illness, that`s legitimate public concern because they`re our president or elected official. We, we, we need to know that they`re healthy because we want them to live a long life and protect, you know, the Constitution...but in the marketplace, in the world, I don`t believe it`s anybody`s concern. And that`s what I think." --comments made on The View, Sept. 19, 2000.

(August 2005) We`re suffering from saturation, overkill. The marketplace is flooded by demand, and there are too many films, so everything gets watered down.

No, that`s what bothers me. That`s how they think. Okay, this is a summer...I remember that it used to be you could see great movies any time. Now it`s like summer is for blockbusters, fall is for the movies that they can`t fit into any other time, that`s like September. Then Oscar movies start, it used to be post Thanksgiving. Now the awards are earlier so it starts earlier. January is when they dump movies. And it`s just so... it seems to me so obvious that wouldn`t it be better for the marketplace to have these movies spread out? Not just people don`t only go to the movies in summer time. If that was the truth, then in the summer time they would count the whole week`s worth of the box office but it`s still only a weekend. So why does it matter...sorry, I get a little upset. It`s just frustrating.

Before the US (2006) mid-term elections, my rabbi was taking a lot of flak. The congregation is exclusive-liberal, yet he is a self-described independent (read "conservative") and he was driving the flock wild. Why? Because a) he never discussed politics; and b) he taught that the quality of political discourse must be addressed first; that Jewish law teaches that it is incumbent upon one to hear the other fellow out. `So I, like many of the liberal congregation, began - teeth grinding - to attempt to do so. And in doing so I recognised that I held two views of America. `One was of a state where everything was magically wrong and must be immediately corrected at any cost; and the other (the world in which I actually functioned day to day) was made up of people who were in the main reasonably trying to maximise their comfort by getting along with one another (in the workplace, the marketplace, the jury room, even the school meeting). `And I realised that the time had come for me to avow my participation in the country in which I chose to live - and that this country was not a schoolroom teaching values, but a marketplace.
