“...I often wondered about the definition of home. Is it the place where you live, or is it the place where the people you love reside?...”
― Becky Aikman, Saturday Night Widows: The Adventures of Six Friends Remaking Their Lives

“The novice screenwriter didn't see that final flourish as the characters killing themselves. She thought it carried to the extreme an irrepressible impetus to bust out of an untenable life. 'They flew away, out of this world and into the mass unconscious,' Callie wrote afterward. 'Women who are completely free from all the shackles that restrain them have no place in this world. The world is not big enough to support them.”
― Becky Aikman

“For Callie, the journey was about seeking justice in a society where there was no justice. 'It required a certain somnambulism to get through a world that thought so little of you,' she says. She shook those characters fully awake.”
― Becky Aikman, Off the Cliff: How the Making of Thelma & Louise Drove Hollywood to the Edge
