In an odd way, all the appliances that the advertisers put out there, and said, Buy this brand-new stove', Buy the fridge' Make Jell-O', all that horrible nutrition that came up because of instant pudding, Jell-O, fish sticks, TV dinners, all of that that I had before dismissed as the death of our culture -- I realized that housewives wanted these things, because they wanted time back, ... A washing machine gave them time to do something else. It gave them time to read a book. ... A woman didn't want to cook all day. These things that were sold to Americans were actually a gift, in a very strange way. I really enjoyed having to blow that notion out of my head.
More Quotes from Jane Anderson:
I think the reason she's done so many of these films is because the '50s is such a rich era for describing the journey of a woman,Jane Anderson
Anderson understands that Evelyn runs the risk of seeming a little too saintly. That's why the character of Tuff is such a great sounding board, because she's the one who says, How can you bear it' ... And Evelyn Ryan, being who she was, could find satisfaction in any situation that she was living in. She found the magic, and the profundity, in the act of raising children. And, oh man, I couldn't do that.

The two other parts Moore played from the '50s are so different from Evelyn Ryan. The character she played in The Hours was a woman who fled the oppression of her home. Evelyn Ryan stayed. She chose to brave it out, because she was determined to make sure every one of those 10 kids of hers made it out of that house intact. It's heroic.
Jane Anderson
It can be a difficult pitch, and I think that's because many times the (would-be) telecommuter comes at it from the perspective of how it's going to be an advantage to them, ... You should always think like a manager.

We are on a really tight budget right now, so anything people can do would help. Whether they would like to adopt an animal, or if they are an animal lover who just can't have a pet, they can make a financial donation. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

We all make Madison Avenue to be the big, bad wolf, but Evelyn and those women who had inner lives were not manipulated by the advertisers.

I wish your increase in holiness, number, love, religion, and righteousness; and wait you, and cease to contend with these men that are gone from us, for there is nothing that shall convince them but judgment.

I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.
