We throw at female artists this expectation that their work has to speak to the female experience. And if it doesn't, you're letting the side down. Throwing this stumbling block in the way of female artists is counterintuitive.

I don't have a beef with any female artist.

You always hear how female artists don't get along, how they hate each other - but that hasn't been my experience.

In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together.

If there were genders to genres, fiction would be unquestionably feminine.

I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.

Women artists are still treated differently from men.

Frankly, I get sick of being considered a 'young woman filmmaker' rather than an individual artist, as a man would be.

Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity then they really are.

I view myself as a male artist.
