I Do Have A Very Chill -

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.

I Just Started Asking My Friends If They Had Noticed. None Of Them - Feminists, Mothers, Daughters - Noticed Until I Pointed It Out. Then I Decided To Bring It Up Within The Industry. I Knew A Lot Of People, So I'd Say, "have You Ever Noticed How Few Female Characters There Are In Kids Movies?" When I Met A Director, A Producer, Whatever. And They Said, "oh, But That's Not True Anymore."

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.

Everything I Do, I Want To Take It To The Farthest Possible Degree. I Can't Just Do Something The Plain Way. I Don't Cook A Bowl Of Pasta; It Has To Be Puff Pastry Swans.

Women Are In Many Ways Second-class Citizens In The United States In 2016, Because Of The Way That We're Portrayed In Popular Culture.
