To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.

More quotes by Jane Campion
When I read Andrew Motion's biography, I wept. It's something about the purity of the story and how fresh it was because of the love letters Keats wrote.
Jane Campion
But I think it's quite clear in my work that my orientation isn't political or doesn't come out of modern politics.
Jane Campion
I would love to see more women directors because they represent half of the population and gave birth to the whole world. Without them the rest [of the world] are not getting to know the whole story.
Jane Campion
My musical knowledge is so bad it's embarrassing. When composers discuss music with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in terms of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo.
Jane Campion
I think if it's interesting, it's interesting, and if it's not, it's not working.
Jane Campion
It's a luxury to be able to tell a long form story. I love novels, and I love to have a long relationship with characters.
Jane Campion
I don't belong to any clubs, and I dislike club mentality of any kind, even feminism - although I do relate to the purpose and point of feminism. More in the work of older feminists, really, like Germaine Greer.
Jane Campion
I think the whole tension about romanticism is the way it builds and builds, and the moment it's consummated, the tension's over.
Jane Campion
The Piano ended up on television. Everything ends up there anyway.
Jane Campion
Actual violence has no attraction for me at all.
Jane Campion
I think feature film can be quite conservative, because you have to now get audiences to come out, and it's quite a hard thing to do. Of course, television can be conservative too.
Jane Campion
This is the first generation to grow up on Thatcher - it's a different ethos. It's money minded, and it's the cult of yourself. Now that's fine, except when it falls down, and you can't achieve your goals - through high unemployment, through the fact that you probably need inherited money to get anywhere.
Jane Campion
What I have learned from my work up to now, is to try to be open, but also protect myself by not letting the good and the evil get too much importance.
Jane Campion
That's just how I see things on a base level: there's so much going on. Or at least I like to have that feeling. It's part of being interested in notions of reality apart from storytelling. I don't know if it has something to do with having an art school education, which makes you aware of the way visuals speak, or makes you trust them more.
Jane Campion
Only when you are relaxed can you see what's going on.
Jane Campion
I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.
Jane Campion
In some ways Holy Smoke is about people's journey to the heart.
Jane Campion
When you first fall in love it's so thrilling, you can't wait to throw yourself away and make this new wonderful twosome.
Jane Campion
So many actors are not open in front of the camera - they have a persona.
Jane Campion
And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.
Jane Campion
