Dwayne JohnsonAlone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Helen KellerI want to support other women because of the opportunities I’ve had – and I’ve had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and, in the meantime, bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.
Angelina JolieWalk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you.
