“There's never been a 'girl wonder' mythology.” — Allison Anders Quote

There's never been a 'girl wonder' mythology.

Because I came from the working class, I still identify with them. I don't identify with the middle class.

My work is better, maybe all filmmakers are better, for Polanski's imprint on cinema. He created language for all of us to use, there is no question about that.

You end up giving up half your salary every time you make a movie because you need the money to make the movie you have in your head.

Nothing feels worse than knowing that people didn't see your movie. That they wanted to and the critics loved it but nobody knew where it was because it didn't do what it was supposed to do opening weekend. It used to be that independents were allowed to stay in the theaters, build word of mouth.

I'm very at home working with mythology.

I like mythology - anything historical.

I think that the mythology of Van Gogh's life, and the beauty of his paintings, is unstoppable.

From comedy, mythology, and drama to reality show, I have never stopped myself from taking risks.

I do love mythology.
