Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows... I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.

More quotes by Geena Davis
I was so tall in high school that I was convinced that I was uncoordinated and not athletic. I was terrified to play any sport at all, no matter how hard they tried to convince me to be on the girls' basketball team as the tallest kid in class.
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
My point was the world is missing female characters. A lot of times there is one female character, maybe even a cool one, maybe even an important one. But where are all the rest?
Geena Davis
We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.
Geena Davis
If it isn't a success, that still wouldn't be grounds for divorce.
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
Having a very complicated life, or a lot of problems, or a lot of flaws, is always great to play.
Geena Davis
They called and said, I know we're not supposed to even tell you, but you've been offered to play the President. And I said, OK. Say yes. And they were like, Do you want to read it maybe? And I was like, No, I just want to be the president.
Geena Davis
The most important thing is to change what children see from the beginning. To not create a problem we have to fix later.
Geena Davis
When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.
Geena Davis
My theory of everything is that we are training kids to have gender bias against girls, therefore when you are an adult, you don't see it. We think it's normal.
Geena Davis
A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.
Geena Davis
In advertisements for your favorite products, are women denigrated or objectified in some way? All of that is important. I would rewrite my kids' books, I would write it in the books for the babysitter!
Geena Davis
I'm so not a party person. I'm so not social and don't go to parties.
Geena Davis
The ratio of male to female characters in movies has been exactly the same since 1946. So if you've ever had people say, you know, It's better now, it's all changed, it's all different, it's not, it hasn't. Not yet.
Geena Davis
The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.
Geena Davis
On film, you can't do it over again. And you do have to stop shooting at a certain point.
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].
Geena Davis
My whole theory about why I couldn’t find any creators who realized they were leaving out female characters is because they were raised on the same ratio. I just heard someone the other day call it either ‘smurfing’ a movie, which is when there’s one female character, or ‘minioning’ a movie, which is when there’s no female characters.
Geena Davis
We have it in our heads that women only need to take up a certain amount of space and then we've done right by them. It's the same in every profession. We get a handful of women professors, a few female board members - that looks normal.
