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].

The whole point of why I'm doing this is to show all kids, boys and girls, that women take up half the space and do half of the interesting things in the world and have half of the dreams and ambitions. Our slogan is, If they see it, they can be it.

When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.
Geena Davis
Archers are pretty focused.
Geena Davis
If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.
Geena Davis
Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.
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
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe.
Geena Davis
A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.
Geena Davis
Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.
Geena Davis
We have it in our heads that women only need to take up a certain amount of space and then we've done right by them. It's the same in every profession. We get a handful of women professors, a few female board members - that looks normal.
Geena Davis
