I'm definitely not drawn to shooting on a stage, I'm just not.

On the other hand, I believe there's hope, because the breakdown and the repair are happening simultaneously.

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.

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.

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

I really look for peak experiences and dramatic material that can allow peak experiences.
