Ava DuVernay: "There is nothing to ask permission for..."

There is nothing to ask permission for, don’t ask for permission…When I just decided I’m just going to work with what I’ve got and give myself permission, then it really started…You just got to start, you just got to begin…That’s the biggest tip: is to start. It may not be the dream project, it may not be perfect. Begin.
