“I think a lot of directors, they come out of film school, they don't know anything about acting. Or they're writers that don't know anything about the process.

“I went to an all-girls Catholic school. And all the nuns just breathed down our necks "abstinence." And that's not the right thing to do. It does not work. Kids will not listen to that. They're going to experiment no matter what, so you have to be honest. You have to say, "You know what, if you're gonna do it, at least think about the consequences and get protection.” IfsThinkingKnowsDoeMatterKidsSchoolGirlHonestConsequenceCatholicNo Matter WhatProtectionExperimentsBeing HonestThings To DoRight ThingNecksWhat IfNunAbstinenceCatholic School Author:Jenny McCarthy
“But the others, those who tried to bring Jesus to life at the call of love, found it a cruel task to be honest. The critical study of the life of Jesus has been for theology a school of honesty.

“It's useful to know how much society's holding you back. My mother would talk about how she was told by the head of her art school that she was the best painter, but that she wouldn't get the biggest prize because she would waste her talent by having children.

“There's a school of thought that says if you legalize drugs it will solve the problem. We're all good liberals, we said let's do it and see what happens. We wanted to be honest about it. So in our brainstorming sessions we'd say, what if? The finding was that all the negative things came out also. The answer is that we didn't believe in the full legalization of drugs.
