I don't know if my films are about women in a kind of frolicking - here's a grab bag of women's issues. They are about women of substance with very particular stories.

Hollywood usually doesn't have strong woman in films like that, and it's stupid, so for the most part they're usually being directed and written by men.

Basically, I just want to do a movie where I'm surrounded by women.

In television, women can really run anything. It can be a comedy, it can be a drama, it can be genre, it can be anything. But in films, women are still getting to the top.

It's rare to see women in a film who are not somehow validated by a male or discussing a male or heartbroken by a male,or end up being happy because of a male. It's interesting to think about, and it's very true.

Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.

There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.

Women's roles in the movies remain, for the most part, girlfriends, mothers, wives.

I'm sure it's more difficult for women to make movies, especially because, in general, the kind of movies women want to make aren't necessarily going to be blockbusters. But you know, there are so few women in so many positions of power.

Women over 35 have great stories, and the actresses are there, but you can't get the movies made.
