I was just making an action movie,\u201d she said.\u00a0\u201cI would\u2019ve liked to have made \u2018Mission: Impossible,\u2019 but women aren\u2019t directing \u2018Mission: Impossible.\u2019 I was able to direct an action movie, frankly, because it starred women and I\u2019m a female director, and that is the confine right now in Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banks continued: \u201cI wish that the movie had not been presented as just for girls, because I didn\u2019t make it just for girls. There was a disconnect on the marketing side of it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She reiterated her stance that female directors are just as capable of making money on big projects and that they don\u2019t need to be made with women or for women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a male-dominated industry. It\u2019s a male-dominated world,\u201d the actress complained to NYT. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m up against, but I can\u2019t solve it and I don\u2019t really want to analyze it. It\u2019s not interesting to me. It puts me, frankly, in a position where the studio head is going to read it in The New York Times and be like, \u2018Wow, that Liz Banks has got a lot to say.\u2019 I don\u2019t need that added pressure. I truly feel that it\u2019s dangerous to talk about these things now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI\u2019m not trying to shirk my responsibility. I just want the framing device around me to not consistently be that I\u2019m some sort of feminist activist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the male interviewer said he was also interested in female issues, Banks shot back that her interest was different because it was personal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can talk to you all day about feminist issues, but you\u2019re never going to have a deep understanding because it\u2019s not something that happens in your life\u2026It\u2019s an intellectual exercise for you, and it\u2019s an emotional exercise for me.
