Quote:
"As a young queer woman, back then when it was not cool and could be career-stopping, I did my best to find a way to express myself that wouldn't make it impossible for me to make more films. ... I wanted to find a way to express my fascination for and love for the love of other women, of same-sex attraction, in a way that was amusing and gentle and loving and palatable for people who hadn't come across it before."
