We need more female directors, we also need men to step up and identify with female characters and stories about women. We don't want to create a ghetto where women have to do movies about women. To assume stories about women need to be told by a woman isn't necessarily true, just as stories about men don't need a male director.

It's really important for boys to see that girls take up half of the planet - which we do.

Having a very complicated life, or a lot of problems, or a lot of flaws, is always great to play.

Obviously, movies don't almost ever shoot in sequence.

I wish I knew who said it, but my favorite quote is, "If a person can do it, I can do it."

In advertisements for your favorite products, are women denigrated or objectified in some way? All of that is important. I would rewrite my kids' books, I would write it in the books for the babysitter!

What are we doing that for in the 21st century? Why on earth would we teach kids that girls are less important than boys? It just made no sense to me.
