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 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
We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.
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
I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.
Geena Davis
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!

My theory of everything is that we are training kids to have gender bias against girls, therefore when you are an adult, you don't see it. We think it's normal.
Geena Davis
Even though I was 34 or 35 or something. I was like, “People can do that? Women can actually just say what they think?” It was an extraordinary experience to do that movie with her because every day was a lesson in how to just be yourself.
Geena Davis
Archers are pretty focused.
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
All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.
Geena Davis
The more hours of television a girl watches, the fewer options she thinks she has in life.
Geena Davis
I don't think male characters are as one-dimensional as female characters.
Geena Davis
If we show fictional characters doing cool stuff, then girls will want to be it in real life.
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 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
Somebody warned me early on to be very careful about brushing up against the chocolate.
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
Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.
Geena Davis
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.
