More quotes by Geena Davis
Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.
Geena Davis
My knowledge of horror films is pathetic because I can't really watch them.
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
I told my parents when I was three that I wanted to be in movies. I don't know what I saw at three years old that would make me decide that's a job and I want to have that job. But I was very confident, very sure that's what I wanted to do. I didn't do anything about it. I didn't prove it to myself or anything. I just knew.

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.
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'm such a wuss. But I know that The Exorcist [1973] is one of the best and most famous of [horor movies].
Geena Davis
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.
Geena Davis
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
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
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe.
Geena Davis
Obviously, movies don't almost ever shoot in sequence.
Geena Davis
I had told my agents that I never wanted to do an hour-long TV show. I said, I'm not that stupid. Because it's the worst lifestyle in Hollywood.
Geena Davis
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.
Geena Davis
I have an elbow that bends the wrong way, and I'd do things like stand in an elevator and the doors would close, and I'd pretend that my arm had got caught in it, and then I'd scream, 'Ow, ow, put it back!'
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
One thing is a fairly simple and straightforward thing. I don't long to direct. I really want to get some good parts.
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
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
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!
