It's difficult to make a movie about a complicated, non-traditional female character. We see a lot more movies with male characters who are at that point in their lives, but not that many about females.

I think feminism to me is the idea that women are equally important and their stories are equally important and just as entertaining.

You want your film to get seen by as many people as possible. I mean nobody makes movies for themselves.

My advice to any filmmaker would be to figure out what it is that you bring to the table. What makes you different? What is your voice?

All any filmmaker can do is focus on creating something that has depth and resonance, and then do whatever possible to get it seen by audiences and hope the word spreads.

I never heard the expression, "A strong man," unless somebody was in the gym lifting a heavy barbell. Why is there a difference between being an ambitious, driven woman or passionate woman and a passionate man? That is something that has come up a lot.

If you don't have a dream as an artist, you shouldn't be an artist, because you should be working towards something and trying to reach that always, whatever that is.
