“It’s been very strange. I’m the subject of this movie. This is a great director. I trust it, it’s a group of women, director, producer. It feels a little on. I only saw it once a month ago, and I’ve been freaking out for a month. And tonight I’m just accepting it and going in. And more important, I hope it’s inspiring to a lot of girls and women to know that they can be the women they want to be.”

(Reporter: “How does it feel when you’re walking on the street to see a woman in a wraparound dress?”)

“It’s how she looked at motherhood, the ups and downs of motherhood, and it’s how she looked at both her successes and her failures. And, she’s a real touchstone for women globally.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, director:
“We really wanted to tell an honest story about a woman who started a business at a time when women needed men to cosign for something as small as a credit card, and we wanted to peel the onion and get to the core. Who is Diane? Show her falling down and picking herself up again. There are valuable lessons to learn for all of us, because sometimes when we look at people as celebrities, we only see the glitz and glamor. It’s important to realize the struggles they’ve gone through.”

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Stuart, producer:
“With all of these movies we, our subjects want to be supportive of the idea of telling their story, warts and all. But the minute you pull down those walls, obviously every human being starts to become a bit self-reflexive. She was open. She was ready. You need a willing participant, and DVF is at a point in her life where she was ready to do this. So for us, we got lucky. If you don’t have a willing participant, these movies are incredibly hard to really bring to life. And, luckily, DVF was there.”
