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

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

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

I did a pilot for Anything But Love in 1988 that didn't sell.

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

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