Everyone knows in the industry that when these great roles come up, every two years, there's a huge number of people up for them. I'm not one of those top five females that can personally finance any film.

Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies.

There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.

Those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences - they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.

There's still a lot of investors wondering what to invest in. And, of course, I think entertainment looks attractive when you read the few films that make these insane amounts of money. What they don't know is they don't always do that.

There are a lot of female directors in documentary, very talented. But it's always lower budget.

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.

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.

When you look at movies like 'Titanic,' they make money because of women. They go to see it and bring their men, too.
