“Sometimes macho language is to mask things people are not ready to deal with.”

“If we fetishize trauma as incommunicable, then survivors are trapped - unable to feel truly known by their nonmilitary friends and family.”

“A great writer is a great writer... Tolstoy was not a woman, but 'Anna Karenina' is still a pretty good book.”

“I guess you just feel like there's a whole story that's not being told in movies. You're only seeing the macho guy version of a story that from the woman's side, may be completely different.”

“You know how macho boys get when they're all together? Well, the set of 'Desperado' was like that. They were all trying to put me down, saying, 'Bring on the stuntwoman, Salma can't do that.' But I did everything.”

“My mother was a fine woman. But it couldn't have worked. Dad was such a macho guy and she was eight years older and becoming matronly.”
