I Was The Type Of Person That

We Need To Have Points Of View From Lots Of Different Types Of People. People Who Have Different Backgrounds, Different Parts Of The World, Who Maybe Perceive Gender Differently. We're In This Time Where We Have Social Media, We Have The Ability To Share So Much, That I Think That We Need To Create More Space And More Opportunity For People That Are Just Outside Of The Typical Cliched Binary Roles.

I Was Home-schooled, Was Always Very Close With My Mom And Was Very Straight-laced And Square. I Was Never The Rebellious One, And I Never Threw Hissy Fits.

Very Few Interviews Are A Conversation. It's Usually A Question And I Have To Answer For Two Minutes. By The End Of The Day, I Kind Of Feel Gross. It's Like You Go To Dinner With A Friend And Then You Get Home And You're Like: "ugh, I Dominated That Conversation Too Much. I Wish I Let Them Talk More." That's How It Feels For Me Every Day I Do Press.

I Wasn't Interested In Going To The School Dances. I Wasn't Interested In Going To The Football Games. What I Wanted Was To Be In My Room Painting My Walls And Doing Weird Stuff. That's What I Wanted And I Got To Do What I Wanted, So That, To Me, Is My High School Experience.

The Way That I'm Feeling The Shift In Movie Industry Is That Women Are Allowed To Be Part Of The Development Process. So I Do Feel Like Things Are Changing Because I'm Allowed To Option Books Or Write An Original Screenplay Or Direct. Those Possibilities Are Really Wide Open. I Think That Males Still Struggle To Write For Females, Which Is Totally Fine Because I Don't Think I Could Write A Really Impactful Male Role Because That's Not The Life That I Lived. So We'll Just Keep Shouting And Say We Need More Opportunities For Not Just Women But People That Are Just Different.
