I once read a quote that I think was Michelle Pfeiffer in an article, who said that she thought people went into acting because maybe if you could convince millions of people to like you, you will finally like yourself, approve of yourself. I don't know if that may have been a part of it.

Geena Davis
All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.
Geena Davis
I was tall from minute one. Always the tallest kid by a large margin. And my fantasy was to take up less space in the world.
Geena Davis
I have a Web site that parents and girls can use to learn about Title IX and take action if they find their school is not in compliance. Thirty years after Title IX passed, 80 percent of schools are not in compliance.
Geena Davis
Somebody warned me early on to be very careful about brushing up against the chocolate.
Geena Davis
I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.
Geena Davis
I used to be very unathletic. I was always so gangly and self-conscious about my height. I had convinced myself I was uncoordinated. And as a result, I didn't want to try stuff.
Geena Davis
We all know the huge problem there is with entertainment in general leaving out women. Especially as actors, we know there are fewer great parts for women.
Geena Davis
Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.
Geena Davis
I'm such a wuss. But I know that The Exorcist [1973] is one of the best and most famous of [horor movies].
