I'm more than open to hope, but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road. Neil LaBute
First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale, I would say they're reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that. Neil LaBute
Neil LaBute quote: "The future is now. It's time to grow up and be strong...."
The future is now. It's time to grow up and be strong. Tomorrow may well be too late. Neil LaBute
With In the Company of Men, the misogynist label stuck early and firmly. In the end, it probably did hurt the film a bit, because getting women into the theaters was difficult. Neil LaBute
I will say that the idea of a woman being deceptive came from that original discussion with critics and reporters about if woman could do that kind of thing. Evelyn, herself, grew out of the discussions about how capable women are of deceit and lying and manipulation. Neil LaBute
Just in the past few years - since I've been making movies, which isn't a very long time - you now have a culture that is fascinated and informed about the box office in a way that sometimes filmmakers weren't even. Neil LaBute
