There's a belonging problem in Hollywood. Who dictates who belongs? The very body who dictates that looks all one way.

I just don't think there's a lot of support for the woman's voice in cinema, and it becomes really difficult to raise that money and start again every time.

I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.

I think for female filmmakers a big issue is making their second and third films.

When we say there's a dearth of women directors, it's not that there's a lack of women who direct: it's a lack of opportunities and access for women to direct and be supported in that.

I intend to be making films until I'm an old lady. So, if God willing I get there, I need to create a paradigm for myself where I can make it regardless of whether or not they still like what I'm making.
