Sexism is real and it persists in film and television. I've seen female directors openly undermined by male cinematographers in front of the entire crew

The camera is your way to see what you want to see - it's an extension of the director's fantasy. I'm executing my personal fantasy, whether it's a fantasy of pleasure or of pain and fear.

I think it's hard for everyone to find their way as an adult and to match up their expectations from their youth to what their adult life looks like.

A male director doesn't come to situations the same way that a female director would.

In documentary, which is the only thing I'm really very familiar with, women are very easily relegated into a producer role.

I think that there is just a deep and abiding sexism that's part of your life from the moment that you're conscious as a female.

Your values form the foundation of your life. They also form the foundation of your dreams. And just as each person’s values are unique, so are each person’s dreams.

Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since.

As she fled fast through sun and shade The happy winds upon her play'd, Blowing the ringlet from the braid.

Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.

A book, unlike any other friend, will wait, not only upon the hour but upon the mood.

The cool thing about playing is that the more you do it, the better you get.
