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

I don't want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.

There should be more women directing; I think there's just not the awareness that it's really possible.

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

My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his yearning for something he could never have.

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

One should make morals judgements for oneself.
