Personal Quote:

My point of view is more or less always from the woman's point of view; the fairy tales that my films are based on are from the woman's point of view. I stress the efficacy of women for themselves. In general, I focus on the female orgasm as much as I can -- women have much more imagination then men! I think sex is supposed to be a lot of fun. See more »

Trivia:

Time magazine's film critic Richard Corliss provided the words of remembrance in the magazine's "Milestones" section (Issue May 17, 2010). See more »
