We had maybe the greatest success of any company that I know of in Paris, and after two or three years I wanted to do this same number that we did for PBS, so we did it and Paris had always considered us their darlings. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
It's hard for children's authors to be accepted when they try to write adult books. J.K. Rowling is the exception because people are so eager to read anything by her, but it took Judy Blume three or four tries before she had a success. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek.

With the success of the last three or so years, when a lot of people start treating you differently, there's a danger that you may start to think of yourself differently. You rely on your friends to say, 'Hey, wake up!' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
