The 55-year-old "Still Alice" star is confident the industry is going in the right direction and says the important thing is to increase the number of women in filmmaker roles, reported Female First.
"There are definitely changes happening. This movie is indicative of that. When you talk about diversity in film, the only way you're able to achieve it is by broadening the diversity of the creators, the writers and directors," she said.
"You don't say to a bunch of guys, 'Hey, you should write some more stories about women, as our experiences are so subjective. My husband (filmmaker Bart Freundlich) writes his own stories; he doesn't write stories about women. That's not where his creative impulse comes from.
