It's Partly Because Our Culture So Hyper-sexualizes

I Would Say Any Film Can Be Called Feminist That Has Female Characters Who Have Agency In Their Life, That Are In Charge Of Their Fate Or Do Important Things Or Take Up Half The Space. I Would Consider A Film Feminist, I Don't Care What It's About, But If The Cast Was Gender Balanced, Where It Would Be Just As Likely That The Boss Or The Best Friend Or Whoever Was Female. It's Really As Simple As Showing Women Being In Charge Of Their Destiny And Giving Female Characters A Voice.

I Got Cast Playing The Best Baseball Player Anybody's Ever Seen. I Don't Know How To Play Any Sport, Including Baseball, But I Trained Really Hard. They Had These Great Coaches, And They Started Saying, "wow, You Have Some Like Really Untapped Athletic Ability."

My Scripts Are Always Filled With Notes. I Like To Just Analyze Everything From The Point Of View Of The Whole Picture, Of The Movie, My Whole Picture.

Women Can Feel Inspired By The Story. People Who Haven't Been Traditionally Given A Chance To Use Their Skills Or Shine Are Given A Chance, And They Prevail.

When I Started Out, Maybe Because I Did Thelma & Louise Early On - But People Were Always Asking, "are Things Better For Women Now?" I Would Say, "yeah, I Think So. It Seems Like It." Then A Few Years In, I Started Saying, "i Think So. I'm Getting A Lot Of Good Parts, But I Don't Know." Then Eventually, I Was Like, "google It. I Don't Know, But It Doesn't Seem Great."
