“I'm not saying that 'Twilight' is, you know, some brilliant Oscar-winn...” — Melissa Rosenberg Quote

“I'm not saying that 'Twilight' is, you know, some brilliant Oscar-winner, it's not 'Dr. Zhivago.' It's not trying to be. Because it is a female fantasy. I would argue that it's actually a universal fantasy. Which is, the fantasy being to be loved and cherished for exactly who you are.”

“What I really want to do is create great roles for women. And I'm not talking Nicholas Sparks romance. I think women's roles have gotten ghettoized in these sort of places... I'm thinking women in action, comic books, or like the Tony Soprano of women. We need some complex roles.”

“I find Jessica Jones a much more interesting character to write for than Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is so noble and heroic, and I don't find that as interesting as one who's really damaged and flawed and has post-traumatic stress disorder.”

“Because I work in television, I always knew that I loved working with writers. It's very collaborative. You're always in a room full of writers.”

“I would argue that, besides the quarterback position, kickers affect the outcome of games more than anyone.”

“My parents would, like, argue in front of us and it wasn't a big deal, whereas I know some people's parents who, if they argued, it was like, 'Oh, my God.'”

“Bandmates argue, bandmates make up. Sometimes there are members that don't get along, sometimes they become best of friends.”

“It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them.”

“When we engage in the critical decisions about our nation's future budgets, I want progressive voices at the table to argue that we must protect the most vulnerable in our society and demand fairness in budget cuts.”

“I think the narrative of people being caught between two cultures as immigrants is very harmful. It's exclusionary. It essentially tries to argue that some Americans are more real than others.”
