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

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

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 tell actresses, "If you're too tall, if you're too fat, you're not going to work. I don't care how talented you are." It's a business, and sex sells.

At the beginning, my ambition was never to break down doors. It was just to earn tuition for myself and work in an industry where women hadn't been allowed or invited. That's all I wanted to do, not thinking that I would make waves, change minds, excite people, incite people, turn on people, repulse people.

I'm in film school, so I really have to sock away my money for school, tuition, and so on, and I really don't have time.

Sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm not angry.
