Despite great advances in women's rights, statistics show that when it comes to the balance of power between the sexes, equality is far from being a global reality.

I think it was Elisabeth Shue who said that if you start a movie with a woman seen through a man's eyes, that woman is objectified by him throughout.

I don't understand why there aren't more powerful female directors. I don't have the answers, but I hope that things may start to shift and that studios will employ more women to handle strong and interesting material.

At school, I always felt the art room was the place where you could sit and talk. It was a place of solace. I wasn't the best artist at school by a long shot; it was more the understanding and the support that came from that room.

Live like you'll die tomorrow, work like you don't need the money, and dance like nobody's watching.

There are so many movies people make just to make money.

They transfer the prison, and all of a sudden all this money cuts loose, all these people cut loose.

I've forgiven all my enemies - even those who have stolen money from me.
