I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.

One of the elements in the film that really fascinated me was not to look at the world in bi-polar terms of us vs them or east vs west, which was a by-product of the Cold War.

I don't do what I do to try and break a glass ceiling.

It's irrelevant who or what directed a movie; the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don't.

War's dirty little secret is that some men love it.

I really look for peak experiences and dramatic material that can allow peak experiences.

Am I a 'woman of action'? I don't think of myself that way.
