I Like High Impact Movies.

If There's Specific Resistance To Women Making Movies, I Just Choose To Ignore That As An Obstacle For Two Reasons: I Can't Change My Gender, And I Refuse To Stop Making Movies. It's Irrelevant Who Or What Directed A Movie, The Important Thing Is That You Either Respond To It Or You Don't. There Should Be More Women Directing; I Think There's Just Not The Awareness That It's Really Possible. It Is.

I Did A Pilot For Anything But Love In 1988 That Didn't Sell.

I Always Want To Make Films. I Think Of It As A Great Opportunity To Comment On The World In Which We Live. Perhaps Just Because I Just Came Off "the Hurt Locker" (2008) And I'm Thinking Of The War And I Think It's A Deplorable Situation. It's A Great Medium In Which To Speak About That. This Is A War That Cannot Be Won, Why Are We Sending Troops Over There? Well, The Only Medium I Have, The Only Opportunity I Have, Is To Use Film. There Will Always Be Issues I Care About.

I Realised That There's A More Muscular Approach To Film-making That I Found Very Inspiring.

Cinema Has The Capacity To Be So Physiological.
