More quotes by 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.

The thing I noticed, have learned the most about directors, is: when they're very confident in themselves, they're open to creativity from other people. If they're scared or nervous, then they shut off and nobody's ideas [count].
Geena Davis
Having a very complicated life, or a lot of problems, or a lot of flaws, is always great to play.
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.

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.

The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.

It's a horrible and wonderful battle with yourself, to stay calm, stay in the moment. My coach said, Stay here, not at the target. Don't be down there. It's why they call it the Zen art.

~There are moments when I feel like I have a looong road ahead of me, with college and dating and driving and all of that. But then I realize it just means that I have so much time left to enjoy my kids. And it really does go by so quickly.~
Geena Davis
I don't think male characters are as one-dimensional as female characters.
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.

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
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
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
A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.
Geena Davis
If it isn't a success, that still wouldn't be grounds for divorce.
Geena Davis
If we show fictional characters doing cool stuff, then girls will want to be it in real life.
Geena Davis
We need more female directors, we also need men to step up and identify with female characters and stories about women. We don't want to create a ghetto where women have to do movies about women. To assume stories about women need to be told by a woman isn't necessarily true, just as stories about men don't need a male director.
Geena Davis
I do like the process of producing. Later in my career, like when I had the TV show, I was a producer and I've been on a few things.
Geena Davis
I played this character twice in live action, and now I've become an animated character. It was actually fun to see myself drawn - I've never been a drawn character before.

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.
