And I Think It's Really Easy For

I Was In A Store In Halifax, Nova Scotia That I Love, Sort Of Like An Environmental Friendly Sort Of Store. But They Had A Great Book Section. So I Went In There All The Time. The Woman Who Worked There - Which I Feel So Bad; I've Forgotten Her Name - She Handed Me The Book And She Said, "hey, You Should Read This. I Think It Would Make A Good Movie." I Remember Reading The Back Of It And I Was Like, "huh." Then I Just Devoured The Book And I Was So Moved By It And Said, "why Don't We Start Developing This Into A Film?" So That's How It ['into The Forest'] All Started.

If You're Perpetuating Discrimination, You're Perpetuating Inequality.

There Are Moments When You Are, Um, Encouraged To Dress A Certain Way. But I Can't. It Just Erodes My Soul. That's No Criticism To Girls Who Can Wear A Tiny Dress And Kill It - That's Awesome. People Always Attribute Being A Feminist To Hating Girls Being Sexual, And That's Not It At All. I'm Just Not Into It.

I Don't Know Why People Are So Reluctant To Say They're Feminists. Could It Be Any More Obvious That We Still Live In A Patriarchal World When Feminism Is A Bad Word?

I Think It's Really Easy For People To Point Out Hypocrisy In People's Lives. It's Like Yeah, I Get On Planes A Lot, And I Drank From A Plastic Water Bottle Today - You Know What I'm Saying? A Lot Of People Would Just Be Like, "oh, You're A Hypocrite. You Live In An Ecovillage For A Month, And Then You Fly Around The World To Talk About A Movie." Don't Think That I Don't Think About Those Things! Don't Think That That's Not, Like, A Quandary In My Life. It Can Be A Pretty Intense Ethical Dilemma. I Think It's About Figuring Out, You Know, Navigating Life.
