Film, therefore, is part of society, not distant from it, easy to experience for people regardless of class.

Class is often invisible in America in the movies, and usually not the subject of the film.

In England we only make films about the working class or the aristocracy.

I'm the type of actor that, if I'm not filming something, I'm in class.

The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don't give the students an idea of what's happening.

Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.

Filmmaking is a business and at the bottom line people who don't make fiscally responsible decisions end up going into another line of work.

We don't want to be our own niche. We're filmmakers like everybody. How many years in a row are we going to talk about the fact that we make films and we are women? Enough already.

The public scrutiny element they don't teach you in film school. So few people are ever subjected to it.

There's something I really love about independent filmmaking. Everyone is a little bit more close-knit, and you rely on people a little bit more. The bigger the budget gets, the more everyone toes the line in their department.
