Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a blind eye to them.

You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

And perhaps, those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films, with women at the center are niche experience, they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.

I am the age that I am and I am trying to do the best with what I got.

I think when something is apolitical and it gets politicised, then it's incredibly disappointing.

Film just chews up actors like nobody's business, and I'm not particularly interested in being chewed up. I think the camera can only look at somebody's face for so long. I guess you have to accept the roles you think are right at the time. You can build a career, but these days there doesn't seem to be that much interest in people being actors.
