People will say a movie bombed at the box office but I couldn't care less.

You never know how films are going to do and it is daunting if I think about it.

If a film is a huge hit, you do think properly before choosing your next projects.

Everyone starts a film thinking that it would be a big hit. But sometimes it goes haywire.

Box office is one of the strongest tools we have toward preserving our ability to make our movies. We really can make a difference by purchasing a ticket each opening weekend to a movie made by a woman, even if you don't like the movie or the filmmaker and even if you don't see the film.

I go into a movie sort of saying what it's not going to be.

There will always be big companies making big movies. But making film and distribution is changing in front of our eyes. I'm not sure what the future holds for this industry.

I wonder if that's hurt me at the box office. Maybe audiences these days want to know exactly what to expect when they go into a movie, and my movies are hard to explain in just one way.

Box office success has never meant anything. I couldn't get a film made if I paid for it myself. So I'm not 'box office' and never have been, and that's never entered into my kind of mind set.
