More quotes by Anna Biller
Plenty of women say, I'm just going to make myself into a sex object. But they often can't stay afloat doing that. They can't maintain their sanity. Some women can, but many cannot. They think they can, but self-objectification is really dangerous.
Anna Biller
I base everything on my own life experiences as a female. I start from there, and then I look for characters and settings that I think are cinematic, where I can use symbols and imagery to tell a story.
Anna Biller
No matter what I do, all people talk about is production design, whether it's not good enough or it is good enough. And I'm thinking: This is because my content makes people uncomfortable. It's a way for people to not talk about the content.
Anna Biller
The more that I see the sexism and misogyny that's coming at me from every direction, the less I think my films have anything to do with sexploitation.
Anna Biller
Men in long-term relationships, we all know how they lose their mojo, they just completely fall apart. They feel like they're not even a man anymore, and they get kind of feminized and weird and they have this longing for this animal, brutal part of themselves to come back. Love does something to men.
Anna Biller
We women have gained so many more things, but we lost that kind of sexual power, the glamour power. We still love women who can still do that in culture.

Every time I get criticism from people, I learn from it and what to do the next time so there are fewer misconceptions. I'm continuing to be socialized as a woman, but also as a filmmaker.
Anna Biller
I've always loved movies dealing with the terror of a woman who doesn't really know her husband and finds out that he's a monster. It's one of my favorite plots.
Anna Biller
Cinema can transform pain and trauma into something beautiful.
Anna Biller
What I'm really trying to do is recreate classic Hollywood cinema and classic genre cinema from a woman's point of view. Because most cinema is really made for men, how can you create cinema that's for women without having it be relegated to a ghetto of chick flick or something like that?
Anna Biller
I feel like that's how women feel in a way. You can get paranoid because everyone actually is a conspiracy to diminish your power.
Anna Biller
I think glamour is a female thing. I don't think that's a male fantasy. I think glamour's a female fantasy.
Anna Biller
Men's requirements of women are impossible and ridiculous and so destructive.
Anna Biller
Anything anybody's used, a comb, a lock of hair, a drop of sweat, anything that comes from somebody's body has incredible magical power.
Anna Biller
When men create movies about femme fatales, it really is always about how that female can destroy that male. It's not really about what's happening on the interior of that female.
Anna Biller
What I like about the '60s movies was that they were about women. They were telling women's stories. I think a lot of movies don't tell women's stories anymore.
