Because my mom always told me that I could. From a very early age, I felt comfortable leading.

There's no reason not to employ, seek out and take a chance on a woman filmmaker that you might not have been looking at her direction. She's not done it before because you've not given her the opportunity to do it before, and I'm just happy that folks like Jessica Jones' Melissa Rosenberg and folks like Ryan Murphy are also embracing this idea.

Netflix represents, as well as all the streaming services, something that I've been talking about being so important to inclusive voices around films.

Stop asking, start doing.

I think good publicists are just like good mommies - always looking out, making sure folks are comfortable and making sure that folks are on time and making sure that folks are getting what they need and know what they need to do.

All the films I do, I write the scripts, I direct.

If your dream only includes you, it's too small.
