"I haven't acted in 10 years. I always talk about being an actor, and yet I've been focusing on makin..." — Marielle Heller

I do think there's probably a little more opportunity to direct in television, because there are just so many TV shows. In movies, it still feels harder to break in. I do hope that's shifting. The difference between TV and miniseries and movies is also diminishing.

The more women directors that get hired, the more practices will shift, top down.

I'm getting more and more used to the fact that being a director and being a woman are two things that everyone wants to talk about, because it's so rare.

For the same reason I want to make movies about women, I also want to make movies that help men be better men and that can be an antidote to toxic masculinity.
