One comment by a female lobbyist really shocked me. She said, "Washington is a contact sport." I asked, "What do you mean by that?" And she just said, "Well, it's all men - and they're very contact-y. They touch a lot." Women say that's just part of the game.

It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...

Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.

We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.

I'm very much a hippie from Northern California.

I no longer think in terms of, Ooh, this is a great role and what is it going to do for - actually, I've never really thought about what something is going to do for my career.
