If You Risk Nothing, Then You Risk

I Meet Susan [saradon], And She Was Amazing. We Sit Down To Go Through The Script [thelma & Louise]. I Swear, I Think It Was Page One - She Says, "so My First Line, I Don't Think We Need That Line. Or We Could Put It On Page Two. Cut This ..." And I Was Just Like ... My Jaw Was To The Ground.

I Was Really Lucky That I Had An Aunt Who Was Very Inspiring To Me. She Was Different Than Anybody In My Family On Either Side.

What Are We Doing That For In The 21st Century? Why On Earth Would We Teach Kids That Girls Are Less Important Than Boys? It Just Made No Sense To Me.

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.

I Would Say How Important It Is That We Stop Teaching Kids, From The Beginning, That Boys Are More Important Than Girls. It's The 21st Century, You Know, Let's Go Here. We Have To Show Kids That Boys And Girls Share The Sandbox Equally And Do Equally Interesting Things. We're Teaching Kids Something That We Have To Try To Get Rid Of Later On. Why Not Just Stop Filling Them With Unconscious Gender Bias?
