Quotations:
"Trying to find this industry's tendency to celebrate the physical is a waste of time. So I'm happy to play the game. But I am also thirsty for input. I'm not a dunce whose only skill is knowing how to take a photograph, you know? And at the end of the day, I think it makes me slightly less replaceable."
"Only the really young are fearless, have the optimism, the romanticism to take unimaginable risks."
"This business is based on numbers, and the numbers show that it's worth investing in female-driven and female-directed films."
