I'm Just Going To Try To Do

I Love Working With A Lot Of Different Films And A Lot Of Different People.

I Want To Direct And Work With The Youngins And The Fabulous Actors Of Today.

At The Beginning, My Ambition Was Never To Break Down Doors. It Was Just To Earn Tuition For Myself And Work In An Industry Where Women Hadn't Been Allowed Or Invited. That's All I Wanted To Do, Not Thinking That I Would Make Waves, Change Minds, Excite People, Incite People, Turn On People, Repulse People.

I Was Kind Of A Bouncy Kid. I Used To Roller-skate Into The Sides Of Cars.

Me And My Sisters Were Taught That If Our Eyes Worked And Our Legs Worked, We Were Beautiful. We Had So Many Kids In Our Family That If We All Got In Front Of The Mirror And Were Ashamed Of Browns And Golds And Yellows And Whites, And We Believed What Society Told Us - That The Darker People Were Less Attractive And The Lighter Ones Were Prettier - We Would Have Had Sibling Murders. My Family, Being Half-rural And Half-military, Just Came From A Different Place.
