I thrive on production. It feels very much like a natural environment for me.

There's really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do. I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can.

If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies. It's irrelevant who or what directed a movie, the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don't. There should be more women directing; I think there's just not the awareness that it's really possible. It is.

I suppose I like to think of myself as a film-maker.

I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.

I like high impact movies.

Something becomes personal when it deviates from the norm.
