More quotes by 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
If it isn't a success, that still wouldn't be grounds for divorce.
Geena Davis
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
I was lucky enough to be in some movies where I had powerful characters or I got to be the president on TV for a little while. Very short administration.
Geena Davis
If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.
Geena Davis
Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.
Geena Davis
Are you stupid or did you just take lessons?
Geena Davis
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.
Geena Davis
The most important thing is to change what children see from the beginning. To not create a problem we have to fix later.
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'm so not a party person. I'm so not social and don't go to parties.
Geena Davis
Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.
Geena Davis
All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.
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
A woman as the leader of the Free World is an impossibility. Muslim countries won't talk to you.
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].
Geena Davis
If we show fictional characters doing cool stuff, then girls will want to be it in real life.
Geena Davis
Obviously, movies don't almost ever shoot in sequence.
Geena Davis
Somebody warned me early on to be very careful about brushing up against the chocolate.
