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

We definitely have to support other female directors because there's not enough of us.

Women in Film and Television is such an important body.

It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.

I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that.

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

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

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.

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.

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