Quote:
"Being a member of the directors' branch [of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences] is incredibly significant to me because of all the things I do, the centre of myself is as a director, and it's also the hardest role for a woman, and a woman of colour, to be recognised in, because it is the prime creative role. So that is a source of great pride to me, that I am recognised by the Academy as a director."
-- Frances-Anne Solomon
