More quotes by Geena Davis
Archers are pretty focused.
Geena Davis
My knowledge of horror films is pathetic because I can't really watch them.
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
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
On film, you can't do it over again. And you do have to stop shooting at a certain point.
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
I don't think male characters are as one-dimensional as female characters.
Geena Davis
Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.
Geena Davis
Are you stupid or did you just take lessons?
Geena Davis
If it isn't a success, that still wouldn't be grounds for divorce.
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 was tall from minute one. Always the tallest kid by a large margin. And my fantasy was to take up less space in the world.
Geena Davis
So many other countries have had female leaders, in fact the U.S. ranks 61st in female representation in government and I think it is startling and sign of a change that needs to be made.
Geena Davis
People think of me in the same breath as Robert Redford and Robert De Niro.
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
Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.
Geena Davis
I had a deliberate plan to get into movies by becoming a model, so I went to New York and got a job pretending to be a mannequin in store windows.
Geena Davis
The more hours of television a girl watches, the fewer options she thinks she has in life.
Geena Davis
Somebody warned me early on to be very careful about brushing up against the chocolate.
Geena Davis
We need more female directors, we also need men to step up and identify with female characters and stories about women. We don't want to create a ghetto where women have to do movies about women. To assume stories about women need to be told by a woman isn't necessarily true, just as stories about men don't need a male director.
Geena Davis
