I Was Being Generous. Gia Coppola Wasn't Even A Filmmaker At That Time, But I Asked Her To Do It, Because I Believed In Her As An Artist. And Because I Wanted A Woman's Take On The Material. The Book Palo Alto Is Very Male-centric, But Gia Carved Out A Bunch Of The Female Characters, And Brought Them To The Fore In The Movie. And The Project Was Richer For It.
