[On her character on The Truman Show (1998)]: Well the thing that was interesting was that we sort of did these back stories about these characters and where they were and what was going on with them. And when the movie picks up, Hanna Gill, who plays Mer...

My biggest mistake, going back to The Truman Show, was that I wrote my most expensive film first. And you just shouldn`t do that. I remember talking to the studio head at the time and she said, There`s no way for a first film that we`ll give you a budget ...

At the time it seriously troubled me, but in drafting me as Marshall Plan Administrator, President Truman did as great a favor for me as one man can do for another. It opened my eyes to many things of which I was totally unaware and it was the beginning o...
