I just don't really see the dialectic between inside and outside, and corporate and revolutionary, as being as cut and dry as I used to.

I don’t like live music. (I know that is a very despicable opinion.) I love great recordings.

We just can't keep putting all this CO2 into the atmosphere, and we're so dependent on fossil fuels. We have five times more renewable energy in wind in North Dakota than we use in the United States. North Dakota could be the Saudi Arabia of wind!

Question What is the most rewarding part of being a parent? Relationships
The death of my beloved husband Bob [Bradford, an American movie producer] in 2019 was devastating because he hadn’t been ill. We were married for nearly 56 years and together for 58. He had a stroke in the night. His last words were, “I love you.” I’m so glad I told him, “I love you too, darling.” A week later he was gone.
