More quotes by Geena Davis
People think of me in the same breath as Robert Redford and Robert De Niro.
Geena Davis
The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.
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.
Geena Davis
My sons last summer, they won a trophy from their surfing camp and they came home and went right over to the shelf and put it up next to my Oscar. That's where we put our trophies.
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 knowledge of horror films is pathetic because I can't really watch them.
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.
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
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
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
If it isn't a success, that still wouldn't be grounds for divorce.
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 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
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
The more hours of television a girl watches, the fewer options she thinks she has in life.
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
On film, you can't do it over again. And you do have to stop shooting at a certain point.
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 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.
