In the beginning we had a great deal of freedom and Jerry wrote completely out of his imagination - very very freely. We even had no editorial supervision to speak of because they were in such a rush to get the thing in before deadline. But later on we were restricted.

The really great writers are people like Emily Bronte who sit in a room and write out of their limited experience and unlimited imagination.

Charles Laughton who's a great hero of mine only ever made one film and it happens to be one of the great films ever which is 'The Night of the Hunter.' It's full of his kind of imagination and creation and how you do things and just in the way he used the studio I just thought it was a fantastical way of using the studio.

I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life and it's myself at eight.

That was me at my best.

Rock Hudson wasn't my type. He's a great guy and had a great sense of humor.

But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls' point of view I've heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.
