I don't think any studio - it was a long shot at the time - but I don't think any studio in a million years would make 'Thelma and Louise' right now. But there's so many other kinds of movies they won't make right now. Callie Khouri kindlonglouise share on social
I think this happens to a lot of people, men and women, where you reach a point in your life and all of a sudden realize that things have changed.

I don't know anyone male or female who can quote-unquote have it all. It's a made-up idea. Men don't have it all. They may have it better because they get paid more for the same work, but they don't have it all. Callie Khouri femaleideamake share on social
I call myself a feminist, not a feminist filmmaker. If somebody asked me if I had a feminist sensibility it would be pretty hard to deny, but is it the theme of my work? Not necessarily. I'm interested in a lot of things. Callie Khouri askcalldeny share on social
