We women have gained so many more things, but we lost that kind of sexual power, the glamour power. We still love women who can still do that in culture.

No matter what I do, all people talk about is production design, whether it's not good enough or it is good enough. And I'm thinking: This is because my content makes people uncomfortable. It's a way for people to not talk about the content.

What I like about the '60s movies was that they were about women. They were telling women's stories. I think a lot of movies don't tell women's stories anymore.

Plenty of women say, "I'm just going to make myself into a sex object." But they often can't stay afloat doing that. They can't maintain their sanity. Some women can, but many cannot. They think they can, but self-objectification is really dangerous.

Anything anybody's used, a comb, a lock of hair, a drop of sweat, anything that comes from somebody's body has incredible magical power.

Men's requirements of women are impossible and ridiculous and so destructive.

I feel like that's how women feel in a way. You can get paranoid because everyone actually is a conspiracy to diminish your power.
