What's most galvanizing for me is the opportunity to be topical and relevant and entertaining. That's the holy grail.

I'm drawn to filmmaking that can transport me. Film can immerse you, put you there.

I realised that there's a more muscular approach to film-making that I found very inspiring.

I'm drawn to provocative characters that find themselves in extreme situations. And I think I'm drawn to that consistently.

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.

Perhaps the only thing in my favor is that I am very tenacious. I don't take 'no' very well.
