I think glamour is a female thing. I don't think that's a male fantasy. I think glamour's a female fantasy.

Cinema can transform pain and trauma into something beautiful.

What I like about the '60s movies was that they were about women. They were telling women's stories. I think a lot of movies don't tell women's stories anymore.

I've always loved movies dealing with the terror of a woman who doesn't really know her husband and finds out that he's a monster. It's one of my favorite plots.

When men create movies about femme fatales, it really is always about how that female can destroy that male. It's not really about what's happening on the interior of that female.

Men's requirements of women are impossible and ridiculous and so destructive.

I feel like that's how women feel in a way. You can get paranoid because everyone actually is a conspiracy to diminish your power.

Anything anybody's used, a comb, a lock of hair, a drop of sweat, anything that comes from somebody's body has incredible magical power.

Every time I get criticism from people, I learn from it and what to do the next time so there are fewer misconceptions. I'm continuing to be socialized as a woman, but also as a filmmaker.

The more that I see the sexism and misogyny that's coming at me from every direction, the less I think my films have anything to do with sexploitation.

We women have gained so many more things, but we lost that kind of sexual power, the glamour power. We still love women who can still do that in culture.

To look at the paper is to raise a seashell to one's ear and to be overwhelmed by the roar of humanity.

It would take entire lifetimes for the men of Carthya to deserve their women.

Sometimes doesn't mean behaving nice, means you will got the same answer, it never means that everything done in positive = returns positive.... sometimes comes and negative.

Thanks liver... you are a champ!

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Avoid a remedy that is worse than the disease.

Back in the day, when the emperor or the king or whatever waged war, they went to war, too. But that's been lost in time.

It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.

Carry an oar when you drive. Three times I've ended up in water.

The bravest people are the ones who don’t mind looking like cowards.
