If you've got a piece and you can feel the person who's going to direct it is really made for it if it's really special for them then it's going to be a better-than-usual experience.

One nice thing about being a woman in Hollywood is that the women tend to be very close-knit. All of us writers and directors know each other and cling to each other for safety and support and it's really a completely different vibe than the men experience out here where they're all trying to murder each other.

I had the experience last year of directing my first feature while I had a 1-year-old son and while I was also pregnant so I am now well aware of the difficulties women who are rearing children face when they're also trying to make headway in mainstream of film.

Because our entire universe is made up of consciousness we never really experience the universe directly we just experience our consciousness of the universe our perception of it so right our only universe is perception.

Natural abilities are like natural plants that need pruning by study and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large except they be bounded in by experience.

Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality - an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order.

To create the power of competence without creating a corresponding direction to guide the use of that power is bad education.

Misdirected focus on paperwork on procedures and on bureaucracy frustrates teachers and fails to give children the education they need.
