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.

My criteria for doing a television series never changed. I wanted more stability, I wanted more of a sense of family, I wanted to do light comedy.

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

I don't believe in censorship in any form.

I think violence in a cinematic context can be, if handled in a certain way, very seductive.

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