Quote:
"My whole perception of how relationships between men and women work was formulated by the movies. Men could do whatever they liked. So could women, as long as they were at home. (They could cook, clean, write letters, wait for their father, boyfriend, husband to get home. Wait longer.) Men had power and women did not—unless they were bad. That made me want to be bad! Later it made me want to make movies."
