Amy Heckerling

“Searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.”

“I always wanted to do a movie about a really positive, cheerful person.”

“I am so not a proper, good female. I can't cook, I don't have kids, I don't weave.”

“Hollywood is run by men who are not very deep.”

“I was making a film about this superficial, cheerful, rich, happy-go-lucky girl. I was not that.”

“You have your vision of what you want to do and you have to fight for it. That's a big part of it.”

“What's wrong with being a girl? We get to wear lipstick.”

“I felt like, 'I'm a weird person. I'm not a popular person. I never was.' 'Clueless' was the opposite of my life.”

“I don't think you can make a good movie for a demographic. You have to make a movie that you want to see.”

“When you're a woman, you have to be twice as good as a man to be thought of as half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.”
