With each project, I'm going for something that makes viewers think, 'Wow, I've never seen a film like this before,' and later think, 'Wow, I've only seen a film like this once before. I saw it in theaters and am watching it now on Netflix or a similar streaming service.'

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.

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

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.

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

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

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