Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!'

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].

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.

My knowledge of horror films is pathetic because I can't really watch them.
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
Image
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!

Archers are pretty focused.

People think of me in the same breath as Robert Redford and Robert De Niro.

Somebody warned me early on to be very careful about brushing up against the chocolate.

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.

A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.

On film, you can't do it over again. And you do have to stop shooting at a certain point.

All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.

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