Quote of the Day (Filmmaker Nancy Meyers, on Boys and Girls Growing Up in the Oprah Era)

“When my daughters were growing up, Oprah was on TV every day at three o’clock pushing girls forward. Meanwhile, boys fell in love with video games. These boys turned into men who wear hoodies and don’t shave. I think there is a reluctance to embrace adulthood.” —Film director-screenwriter (What Women Want) Nancy Meyers interviewed by Eliana Dockterman for “7 Questions: Nancy Meyers,” Time Magazine, October 5, 2015
