For female directors, there's a whole other set of things we have to think about, particularly when we are casting men, because there are some actors who have never been directed by a woman. Crew members, too.

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

Filmmakers need to realize that their job isn't done when they lock picture. We must see our films through.

There are many things that keep me from getting married. But there will be a time when marriage makes sense to me.

You use the body as a medium to bring the mind back to the brain. Perfect married between body and mind. Then, you can knock the door to the spirit.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.
