Hollywood has failed female directors, says Ryan Murphy

Writer-director Ryan Murphy apologized to the female directors in Hollywood saying the industry should have given more chances to them.
The "American Horror Story" creator, who received THR's inaugural Equity in Entertainment Award at the Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast, used his acceptance speech to address the issue, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I'd like to tell the women in this room a few things I am guessing no man in your life or in Hollywood has ever said to you lately, or in combination: I am sorry. It was my fault. I could have done better. I am going to do better. And I have no interest in sleeping with you, I just like you a lot," Murphy said.

The "Glee" creator said after directing the Emmy-winning episode of "The People v. O.J. Simpson" titled "Marcia Marcia Marcia," he felt ashamed.
"I felt I had failed. I have always had female directors on my shows, but why here didn't I feel I had a roster of women around me who I could turn this important episode over to? Why weren't these women on speed-dial? Why did I make the choice that was easier for me, but not for the material, or the world in general?"
The event was attended by likes of Megyn Kelly, Emma Stone and Tina Fey.
