Period Costume Films Are Fun To Discover,

What I Do As A Director Is Really Create A Safe Environment That Everyone Can Feel Very Comfortable In And Experiment Within So That They Don't Hold Back Anything. You Never Ever Want Someone To Go, 'oh I Shouldn't Have Done That.' There Isn't Anything You Shouldn't Try. If It's Terrible, Who Cares?

If You Made A Movie That No Man In The World Went Near, But Every Woman In The World Went To, You'd Have The Highest Grossing Movie Of All Time. You'd Make Trillions Of Dollars. But I Don't Want To Make Movies That Are Just For The Ladies. I Don't Want To Ghettoize Any Audience That Way.

There's Nothing Worse Than The Sequel That's A Letdown From The First Movie.

I Try Not To Blame The Public, Because The Public - Men, Especially - Have Seen Not Great Portrayals Of Women In Supporting Roles, Because They're Not Given The Lead Roles A Lot Of The Time. Especially In Comedy, They're Relegated To The Adversary, Which Is Like "the Mean Girlfriend."

Where There Seems To Be A Difference Between Guys Being Nuts And Women Being Nuts Is That Guys Are Much More Open In Calling Each Other On Stuff; Lots Of Insults And Dirty Names. Whereas Women Will Talk Frankly And Honesty, But There Also Seems To Be More Passive Aggressiveness.
