My films have elements of genre in them, which prevents them from being purely art films.

I realized you can always make money; you just do a lot of things.

I really dislike it when women reject feminism; that's ridiculous. I am a product of feminism. Without feminism I would not be making films.

Some actors can draw from their own darkness.

I just don't think I'm an ideological filmmaker in any way. I don't know how anyone could see anything I've done and see that.

In my early thirties I was working in television as a researcher. I was really stuck for a period of five years. I got to TV when I was thirty. I hated being a music writer, and kept wondering why I couldn't be doing the exciting things that my friends were doing in television.

I'm not trying to make the world a better place.
