I Was All Limbs And I Was

Archers Are Pretty Focused.

I Met The Former President Of Iceland [jóhanna Sigurðardóttir] Once. I Think She Was President For, Like, 16 Years Or Something. She Said She Used To Get Letters From Little Boys Saying, "madam President, Do You Think It Will Ever Be Possible For A Boy To Be President?" Just Like We Assume That Girls Can't Be Politicians, They Were Assuming Boys Can't. That's What They Thought. It's So Crazy.

An Eye-opening Moment In My Life, A Very Defining Moment, Was The First Time I Met Susan Sarandon [before Shooting Thelma & Louise]. We Were Going To Meet, Just Ridley [scott] And Susan And I, To Go Through The Script And See If We Had Any Thoughts Or Ideas. I Was Reading The Script, And In The Most Girly Way Possible, Meaning That If It Was A Line That Could Change Or Something Different I'd Like To See, I Would Think About Each One And Say, "well, This One Can Wait Till The Set Because I Don't Want To Bring Up Too Many Things."

It's Partly Because Our Culture So Hyper-sexualizes Females That If You Don't Measure Up To Whatever We're Forced To Think Is The Standard, Then You Feel Inadequate.

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.
