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

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

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.

Perhaps the only thing in my favor is that I am very tenacious. I don't take 'no' very well.

Every heart has a unique story to tell. We just need a mind to listen.

Typing is the future of talking and to don't forgot and brother of feature.

However, Heaven can only show you the way. You must walk the path yourself.

To make a crooked stick straight we bend it the contrary way.

I am ashamed every day, and more ashamed the next.

It's a privilege and not a right to own a business.

We don't go anywhere. Going somewhere is for squares. We just go!

We all know how to be a child. It's inside all of us. For me, it's just remembering how to enjoy it.

It is better for your career to do nothing, than to do something and attract criticism.

I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.
