People ask why there are so few female artists who succeed. It's because women are not ready to sacrifice as much as men. Women want a man, they want a family, they want to have children, they want to be loved, and to be an artist. And they can't; it's impossible.

I don't think women hold all the answers, but with their skills, their strengths, we can get to a better place.

It is pure mythology that women cannot perform as well as men in science, engineering and mathematics. In my experience, the opposite is true: Women are often more adept and patient at untangling complex problems, multitasking, seeing the possibilities in new solutions and winning team support for collaborative action.

The women I know are smart, interesting people who aren't just there to service the men's stories, so I don't know why our art continues to do that.

Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.

I've worked with just as many talented women as I have talented men, and I feel fortunate enough to have that great balance.

When men hold the greater majority of all professional positions of power, it is impossible for a woman to advance her career without the support of men.

Most women are not programmed to prefer a great career to a great man and a family. They feel they were sold a bill of goods at college and by the media.

More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.

Because it's difficult to have a career as an artist, and in every situation where it's difficult to have a career, it's even harder for women, for all the other reasons that it's harder in other fiercely contested fields.
