I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it.

Affirmative action has been generally cast in terms of race. I think women themselves are not as cognizant of the role affirmative action has played in opening the doors for women.

And nothing embittered me, which is important, because I think ethnic people and women in this society can end up being embittered because of the lack of affirmative action, you know.

I think that affirmative action programs can be very important.

If you don't like affirmative action, what is your plan to guarantee a level playing field of opportunity?

Affirmative action works but we're going to need to muster all our political resources if we are to keep it in place.

When I was a young filmmaker starting out, I was really snobby about all the affirmative action for women filmmakers because I felt it should be about your talent, and I made a film that won awards, and people wanted me.

You can't be a minority in this society without having someone express disapproval about affirmative action.

In a way, it has been an advantage for me to be a woman because there is always some academic committee that needs you to fill a quota!
