One nice thing about being a woman in Hollywood is that the women tend to be very close-knit. All of us writers and directors know each other and cling to each other for safety and support, and it's really a completely different vibe than the men experience out here, where they're all trying to murder each other.
I'm not an especially highbrow person, but I have always loved small, quirky, edgy movies.
If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.
Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene.
