I think that's how you have to make films. You can't try to imitate or repeat. You have to make your own thing, tell the story that is in your own heart.

I think that, you know, women succeed in the cutting room or they're allowed into the cutting room because it's not a very on-display job. I mean, we're behind the scenes. We kind of whisper in your ear.

I love the fact that we've made a film that not only the whole family can go to and enjoy but, you know, it's actually having an effect. You know, Rey's character is a tough woman who your 6-year-old can pick up a lightsaber now and go for it.

I do think that there are - again, gross generalization - more women than men that can tolerate that or that are OK with that.

Maybe because we're women, we have a very high respect level for each other. And when you do have ownership, you're going to make it the best it can be. And I think that's a really - although subtle - very important point in - when you're doing anything creative.

And if you are somebody who needs to get a pat on the back for everything that you do, editorial is not for you.
