I do not consider myself a feminist. I do not believe that by doing female-oriented films that depict a woman fighting the system, we can change the system.

I keep trying to imagine a universe in which too many public figures declaring themselves feminists would be a bad thing.

A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with.

Feminists are in an untenable position, defending something they no longer believe in, and which history will force them to recognize was destructive of most of the central pillars of civilization. I'm just the first one to point it out publicly.

Women can really be who they are. I'm about to say the F word, feminist. Often that word has such a negative connotation.

I don't think that the feminist movement has done much for the characters of women.

I don't think women are that vastly different from men. I'm a bit of a woman myself. But I'm not a feminist filmmaker. I'm not making a feminist thesis to prove that women are important. I just happen to make films with strong characters that are women.

I don't like the women who stand up for the empowerment of women at the expense of men. They try to demonize men, and they try to suggest men all want to keep us down, which is one of the reasons why I don't like that label 'feminist.'
