Direct Quote by Amy Pascal

“For a woman to direct a movie in Hollywood, she has to go through so many layers of rejection by the powers that be - I suppose including myself - that it is harder to get to that point. So you can't just create something. And I think there is a whole unconscious mountain.” quote by Amy Pascal — Download Open image
