Director Lee Daniels Feels Women Are Smarter Than Men

Renowned American television and film and producer & director Lee Daniels states that he believes women are "smarter than men".

While talking on the issue of women empowerment through his projects and works, the Precious director stated that "They (women) are smarter than men."

"I just think women are far more complicated, and I find that they are really interesting and fascinating to write for. So yeah, so most of my work comes from crazy Cookie's and such, you know." Lee Daniels said in a statement.

The Paperboy producer is all set to emphasize on the subject of strong women with his upcoming project Star. Lee stated that he is intending to reverse the stereotypes on the television by showcasing "the black girl to be rich".

"It's not just about the girls finding family. We're talking about race." Said the director.

"At the time, (Donald) Trump was not president. But I knew we were at civil war. I wanted this girl in this girl group to be white. I wanted her to have a sister who was half-black. And I wanted the black girl to be rich." Lee added.

"And then I wanted them to tear each other apart because you know there are no girl groups.The reason that there are no girl groups is that they only last a couple of years." Lee stated further.
