Sirk was every woman's dream of a director.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whereas with Sirk, everything is always filmed. No matter what the script, he's always a real director.
Yes, actually ever since I saw his films and tried to write about them, Sirk's been in everything I've done. Not Sirk himself, but what I've learned from his work.
Every casting director I've met is a woman.
It felt amazing to be one of a handful working female directors in Hollywood.
Cukor is one of my favorite directors. He was a master at directing women.
It never crossed my mind to be a director, and I'll tell you why: because I'm a woman. It just didn't occur to me, but I knew I had to be in film.
The great thing about women directors is that they're not only involved in the performances - they can gauge where we all are personally and know how to direct us better because of that.
If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.
A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.
It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone's disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business.
