You know how few movies there are in the world about women and their work? I mean, it's like 'Silkwood' and 'Erin Brokovich.' There are exceptions, but they are so exceptional.

I love films, I love the way they make me feel.

There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.

I don't know if my films are about women in a kind of frolicking - here's a grab bag of women's issues. They are about women of substance with very particular stories.

I think men under pressure - I mean, that's what brings out the worst and the best of us. I like to explore that quite a bit in my characters because I don't see a lot of it on the screen that moved me like the films that I grew up with - that are honest, at least, about honest emotions and honest heroism.

I like any film where the female characters are complex and have a functioning imperfection.

I love women. I've always cared about making movies about women my entire career.

I love watching Marty Scorsese's films, but they always make me feel terrible about being a man.
