Directing is the last frontier for women in the movie business. We are
studio heads, we are producers and we are writers, but we are not
directors in any numbers. The studios are certainly complicit, but I
think there's some part of it that is women not saying: 'I want this
job!' For a really long time, the powerful women in this town have been
the nurturers of talent as opposed to the talent. And somehow, women
haven't felt empowered to say, 'Give the money to me to make the
movie.'
