I didn't see myself as a woman doing film but as a radical film-maker who was a woman. ”

I am a woman. I think I have the spirit, the intelligence, and - dare I say - the soul of a woman. ”

I didn't have a career; I made films. It's very different. ”

I think I was a feminist before being born. I had a feminist chromosome somewhere. ”

I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images. ”

When I love somebody, I cannot drop it out of my life. Love is not something like you open and you close, you know? ”
