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].

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
I don't really bust anybody publicly. It's much more efficient if I can impact the creators. So that's what we do. It's had a great impact.
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 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
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
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
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
If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.
Geena Davis
I used to be very unathletic. I was always so gangly and self-conscious about my height. I had convinced myself I was uncoordinated. And as a result, I didn't want to try stuff.
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
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!
