Women were victims. Their husbands could beat them up when they wanted to. They couldn't work. They could be maimed and killed by their husbands.

I was kind of a bouncy kid. I used to roller-skate into the sides of cars.

I felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.

You never know how people are going to respond.

Coming from the '50s, things were very violent.

I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.

I consider myself conscious of how we're treated, and sometimes I can be a feminist.
