More quotes by Geena Davis
I think I always had joie de vivre. But I had pretty bad self-esteem growing up and much of my adult life.
Geena Davis
For a long time, way back in the ’30s and ’40s, there were fabulous female roles. Bette Davis and all those people had incredible, great roles. After World War II, something happened where it was not only get out of the factories, but get out of the movies. That's when women's roles started to really [change].
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
I had a deliberate plan to get into movies by becoming a model, so I went to New York and got a job pretending to be a mannequin in store windows.
Geena Davis
A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.
Geena Davis
This dapper little mouse that wore such cute clothes and said such interesting things, yeah. I thought it was a great idea to have a mouse like that in your family, so now I get to see what it was like.
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
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
I was lucky enough to be in some movies where I had powerful characters or I got to be the president on TV for a little while. Very short administration.
Geena Davis
Are you stupid or did you just take lessons?
Geena Davis
All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.
Geena Davis
Archers are pretty focused.
Geena Davis
I don't know how in the twenty-first century we can possibly justify not showing girls things that they can aspire to, and at the same time, how can we possibly be showing boys this narrow vision of what women are and what they can be.
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 immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.
Geena Davis
I just passed on some a script that I was sent, because I said, I haven't yet played the person staying home, the one that says, 'Good luck, honey,' or whatever. And so that's what I look for. Therefore, by virtue of that exclusion, I'm always trying to find roles that are challenging.
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
The more hours of television a girl watches, the fewer options she thinks she has in life.
Geena Davis
It's okay if it takes two or three years for something really good to come along, but I don't want to wait ten years for something great to come along.
Geena Davis
So many other countries have had female leaders, in fact the U.S. ranks 61st in female representation in government and I think it is startling and sign of a change that needs to be made.
