People want to put women in one box, and I'm interested in how women can be everything at once.

I am a woman, and I am Jewish; I'm a film-maker, and I'm a writer, so you cannot just put me in one box.

I'm a woman, but I've been a sexist, too.

A gender line... helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

I've always felt it's ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You're my friend, you're my wife, you're my girlfriend, you're my co-worker. This is your box, and you're not allowed to stray outside of it.

I certainly don't recognise myself as the horrible sexist portrayed in media reports, and I don't think the women who have worked with me throughout my career do either.

I'm not a feminist.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

I'm not the kind of male who has to put my imprint on everything.
