“"There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about 'The Wizard of Oz.'"”

“My favourite film is The Wizard Of Oz. It's been with me my whole life, from first viewing on a black-and-white TV as a kid in the early '60s, to my periodic family screenings of it to this day. It's still as magical now as it ever was. That moment when Dorothy opens the door and steps out of her black-and-white world into the vivid, Technicolor land of Oz still gets me.”

“It's just a childhood film. My grandparents are from Kansas—we go to the Kansas State Fair. I thought I was Dorothy. I dressed up as Dorothy like three times in a row for Halloween.”
