“I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.”
“We should all have the opportunity to express what we want to express.”
“Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?”
“When I'm working on a movie, I will make any sacrifice to finish it.”
“More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art.”
“If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist.”
“Censorship of ideas or images or words is wrong.”
“In this way, some film schools can be destructive.”
“I've also directed, shot, and edited several music videos.”
“I have never seen a connection between cinematic violence towards women and actual violence towards women in society.”
“Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.”
“I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.”
“The very fact that 'the mystical' is seen as irrelevant to issues of social and political authority itself reflects contemporary, secularized notions of and attitudes toward power. The separation of the mystical from the political is itself a political decision!”
“I did not go to film school.”
“We should assume that the end product can be switched off by any consumer who is offended or frightened by it.”
