I Do Like The Process Of Producing.

That's The Really Frustrating Thing, But Also The Fixable Thing. My Theory Why No One Notices Is That That's The [women's Roles] Ratio Thing They Grew Up With. It's Just Been That Way Forever, So They Don't See It.

There Were So Many Women Who Had Worked Throughout The War In Every Possible Job. They Were Told, "now Leave, So The Men Can Come In" And There Was This Whole Feminizing Of Women: You Have To Be Very, Very Retiring And Submissive And Whatever.

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."

I Have An Elbow That Bends The Wrong Way, And I'd Do Things Like Stand In An Elevator And The Doors Would Close, And I'd Pretend That My Arm Had Got Caught In It, And Then I'd Scream, 'ow, Ow, Put It Back!'

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.
