People think women directors are tough. Truth is, I'm a pussycat and I hate conflict. I just want everyone to be happy on set.

I went to film school to make films just because you're in control of the story.

People have their faults, but it doesn't prevent you from loving them.

Feminists is something people hate above all. Nothing worse than being a woman in this [movie] business. I really believe that.

I was six years old when I saw my first Godard movie, eight when I first experienced Bergman. I wanted to be a director when I was fourteen.

I don't want to go to the Bahamas on holiday. I hate islands. I want to go to Brittany, where it's cold and raining, and there's nothing fancy about it.

I've directed five films and I've proven that people have made money with my films - many people have made money with my films.
