"For a while, I was always called a 'woman director,' which is weird because I really feel like a director, not a woman director. I think that as more and more women direct different kinds of movies, we'll stop labeling things 'women's pictures' or hear people say, 'She makes women's movies.' I'm a woman and I don't know exactly what that term means. 'Women's pictures' are supposed to be something like a sensitive portrayal of relationships between ... women, I guess." (from a 1987 interview)
