“But every time I–every time I put my foot down and stand up for myself, it’s like ‘we’ve heard about Nicki Minaj! Nicki Minaj shut down a photo shoot! Oh my god! No one wants to work with Nicki Minaj!’ I’m glad you heard. Now, when I come to a photo shoot, let it be of quality. You know why? Because I put quality in what I do. I spend time and I spend energy and I spend effort and I spend everything I have, every fiber of my being to give people quality. So if I turn up to a photo shoot and you had–you got a fifty dollar clothes budget and some sliced pickles on the motherf*cking board, you wanna know what? No, I am gonna leave. Is that wrong? For wanting more for myself? Wanting people to treat me with respect? But you know what, next time they know better. But I had accepted the pickle juice, I would be drinking pickle juice right now. When I am assertive, I’m a bitch. When a man is assertive, he’s a boss. No negative connotation behind ‘bossed up’. But lots of negative connotation behind being a bitch.”

Boyz n the Hood (John Singleton, 1991)

Here’s a list I found of 1,400 films directed by women so if yr ever thinking of watching a movie NOT directed by a woman think about watching one directed by a woman instead
