I don't do what I do to try and break a glass ceiling.

I'm drawn to filmmaking that can transport me. Film can immerse you, put you there.

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

I don't want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.

Something becomes personal when it deviates from the norm.

Whereas painting is a more rarefied art form, with a limited audience, I recognized film as this extraordinary social tool that could reach tremendous numbers of people.

It's irrelevant who or what directed a movie; the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don't.

Cinema has the capacity to be so physiological.

There should be more women directing; I think there's just not the awareness that it's really possible.

Films don't cause violence, people do. Violence defines our existence. To shield oneself is more dangerous than trying to reflect it.

I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.

Solberg

Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all.

No end to sorrow, caused by the same endless fears. Why can't we learn from all we've been through after two thousand years?

Discontent and disorder were signs of energy and hope, not of despair.

No matter your title, people will not follow you if they don’t trust you.

And if I were a naughty little boy, the idea is to spank me into good behavior?

A French proverb says 'Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day.' To tell it more precise, wait till the clock strikes the midnight!

How quickly one accepts the incredible if only one sees it enough.

I'm just very interested in what my guests have to say. You have to be vigilant to stay ignorant.
