More quotes by Geena Davis
Women are in many ways second-class citizens in the United States in 2016, because of the way that we're portrayed in popular culture.
Geena Davis
A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.
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
My whole theory about why I couldn’t find any creators who realized they were leaving out female characters is because they were raised on the same ratio. I just heard someone the other day call it either ‘smurfing’ a movie, which is when there’s one female character, or ‘minioning’ a movie, which is when there’s no female characters.
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
On film, you can't do it over again. And you do have to stop shooting at a certain point.
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
I once read a quote that I think was Michelle Pfeiffer in an article, who said that she thought people went into acting because maybe if you could convince millions of people to like you, you will finally like yourself, approve of yourself. I don't know if that may have been a part of it.
Geena Davis
Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.
Geena Davis
Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.
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 think I always had joie de vivre. But I had pretty bad self-esteem growing up and much of my adult life.
Geena Davis
All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.
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
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
When it came time for college, I told my parents I was going to major in acting. And they were so removed from anything to do with show business - my dad built our house and my mom grew our food.
Geena Davis
I don't think male characters are as one-dimensional as female characters.
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
Because I had some roles that resonated with women, I immediately noticed that there were far more male characters than female characters in what we're showing little kids in the 21st century, which was stunning to me. But I couldn't find anybody else who noticed.
Geena Davis
The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.
Geena Davis
