For Me, The Dumbest Rule Is That

I Just Always Loved Mythology, Ever Since I Was A Kid. Greek Mythology Was Something I Remember Learning About In Fourth Grade, And Egypt, Too, And Something About Both Those Things Just Clicked With Me. I Just Thought They Both Were So Beautiful And Interesting To Learn About.

I'm Sure That There's Frustration That Comes With Wanting To Just Have A Normal Mom. But, I Don't Really Know If They See It As Any Different Than Any Other Problem You Might Have With A Parent. I Think Everybody Can Think About One Thing That Their Parents Used To Do, All The Time, That Would Embarrass You.

You Know How It Is When You Put On Your Best Friend's Shirt. You Feel Weird, Even If Everyone Tells You That It Looks Good. You Know That It Isn't Right.

One Of The Reasons I Love Making Movies Is Because It's An Opportunity To Share With The World A Different Way Of Being Or A Different Way Of Living Or Seeing The World. If It's Something You've Already Seen Before, If I Have Too Many Reference Points For It, Then It's Not Exciting For Me To Make.

The Way That I'm Feeling The Shift In Movie Industry Is That Women Are Allowed To Be Part Of The Development Process. So I Do Feel Like Things Are Changing Because I'm Allowed To Option Books Or Write An Original Screenplay Or Direct. Those Possibilities Are Really Wide Open. I Think That Males Still Struggle To Write For Females, Which Is Totally Fine Because I Don't Think I Could Write A Really Impactful Male Role Because That's Not The Life That I Lived. So We'll Just Keep Shouting And Say We Need More Opportunities For Not Just Women But People That Are Just Different.
