In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.
I liked The Slipper and the Rose, as I have already mentioned, because it was such a lovely film to do.
Somewhere along the line, I realized that I liked telling stories, and I decided that I would try writing. Ten years later, I finally got a book published. It was hard. I had no skills. I knew nothing about the business of getting published. So I had to keep working at it.
