I’m thankful for the work that feminists like Gloria Steinem have done. I am a feminist, but the geography for women today is vastly different than it was in the ’60s.
I don’t know if I’ve owned a piece of technology that I hated – I don’t think I would have owned it then.
Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.
I think I’ve always had a certain amount of skepticism of this whole ‘shut up and smile’ theory. I haven’t ever swallowed that pill so easily, although I tried.
I can sit in front of the TV and watch an old romantic film and be transfixed.
You can’t respect yourself if you’re afraid to be who you are.
When I go into making a movie, personally, I don’t try to bring other pieces of movies with me.
I think there’s an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the ‘Saw’ movies.
I buy records – vinyl. I have a record player at home.
One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can’t do anything to your performance once you’ve laid it on film.
