I want to be involved in a story that makes a difference.

I was excited that my films would finally see the light of day and people would see them. But I never imagined that such nice things would be said about a lot of my films.

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

Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.

I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.

I think you have to take the whole idea of wage equality out of the film industry.
