I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

There's a pattern of the pathway opening in a certain way. We stared thinking, there's so many wonderful films about civil rights movements, but there isn't even one yet about the women's movement? It's hard to capture because it's so sprawling, and it's an ideology.

A lot of times being "completely objective" means seeing the world through a patriarchal eye.

Those stories weren't being written at all - stories about women's inner lives and outer activism. We've come miles and miles, but we still don't have an equal rights amendment yet. We don't have equal pay yet. There's a lot of blind misogyny that's not personal, but institutionalized. We still have work to do, but even just looking at those old Ms. Magazines is a cool thing to do - to see how daring they were. They just went right into the belly of the beast.

I've just been lucky. I'd like to have more choices, and I'd like to have a leading part.

Comedy is what I really want to do and propel.
