I Do Have To Say

On The Other Hand, I Believe There's Hope, Because The Breakdown And The Repair Are Happening Simultaneously.

I'm Drawn To Provocative Characters That Find Themselves In Extreme Situations. And I Think I'm Drawn To That Consistently.

If There's Specific Resistance To Women Making Movies, I Just Choose To Ignore That As An Obstacle For Two Reasons: I Can't Change My Gender, And I Refuse To Stop Making Movies. It's Irrelevant Who Or What Directed A Movie, The Important Thing Is That You Either Respond To It Or You Don't. There Should Be More Women Directing; I Think There's Just Not The Awareness That It's Really Possible. It Is.

I Have Always Firmly Believed That Every Director Should Be Judged Solely By Their Work, And Not By Their Work Based On Their Gender. Hollywood Is Supposedly A Community Of Forward Thinking And Progressive People Yet This Horrific Situation For Women Directors Persists. Gender Discrimination Stigmatizes Our Entire Industry. Change Is Essential. Gender Neutral Hiring Is Essential.

I Can't Stand Outside Myself And Be Anybody Else.
