I like to work, and I worked for years as a camera person before I directed. Patty Jenkins Read Quote
At the end of the day, making ‘Monster’ was unbelievably hard, as making any movie is. And the only thing that made it worth it is not those awards and all those kind of things that I can barely remember because I was so overwhelmed. It was really that night in the editing room, that day on set. It was those things. Patty Jenkins Read Quote
I do care about success and all of those things. But I don’t care enough to do movies just for that reason. Patty Jenkins Read Quote
There’s the 7-year-old me that pretended to be Wonder Woman running around the schoolyard. Like, what an incredible thing to imagine that when the bully shows up or the villain, you would be strong enough to do something about it. But, also, you look like Lynda Carter while you’re doing it – like, ‘Oh, my God.’ Patty Jenkins Read Quote
Longevity of focus, I think, is the hardest part. You know it’s to have a vision and then try to hold that vision and not have it change. Patty Jenkins Read Quote
I know that I’m carrying a bit of a weight on my shoulders of what I do represents more than just myself as a director. I wish that wasn’t true, but it is. It makes me think about doing work that I believe in and that I believe I can do well, probably even a hair more than I would otherwise. Patty Jenkins Read Quote
I never want to set a belief that a woman has to direct a woman’s film, meaning she can’t direct a man’s film. If only films can be directed by people who are exactly the same as that, it’s only gonna limit all of the women more. Patty Jenkins Read Quote
