I think that women are uniquely suited to the job of directing, and I've seen it firsthand.

The world is not such a large place, and we have more in common with one another than we might think.

In my own experience, when we have an open directing assignment of any kind, not just the big films, I would say it is the exception, not the rule, that there is a woman in the group of directors that we are interviewing. I think that's from the pool being so small.

We live in a big world. We are citizens of the world, and we make movies for everybody around the world. I think it's very important to understand what people's life experiences, good and bad, are.
