I Almost Never Get Nervous.

[my Aunt] Took Me To My First Play, Too, Which Was Dinner Theater. I Don't Know If They Have That In England, But You Eat A Dinner While You Watch A Play. And She Ordered A Glass Of Wine. I Was Like, "oh My God. This Is, Like, The Most Sophisticated Thing I Have Ever Done."

After A Couple Of Rehearsals And A Couple Of Takes, Sydney Pollack Says, "come Here. Why Are You Not Nervous?" And I [say], "do You Think It Would Be Better If I Was Nervous?" And He Says, "no, It's Just I Can't Understand It - How You Would Be First Time On A Set, You're Acting, When He Flubs His Line You Make Up A New Line. It's Very Interesting." It's Not That I Think I'm Great; That's What I Knew I Wanted To Do.

I Think I Always Had Joie De Vivre. But I Had Pretty Bad Self-esteem Growing Up And Much Of My Adult Life.

Behind The Cameras, There's A Different Problem, Which I Think Is Not Unconscious Gender Bias. It's Probably Categorized More As Conscious Gender Bias. Because Everybody's Known The Numbers For Decades. Nobody's Stunned To Hear There Are Very Few Female Directors, Only 4 Or 7 Percent. Everybody Knows, But It Doesn't Change Anything. It Doesn't Make People Say, "wow! We Should Change That." Nothing Happens. It's Utterly Stagnant.

My Whole Theory About Why I Couldn’t Find Any Creators Who Realized They Were Leaving Out Female Characters Is Because They Were Raised On The Same Ratio. I Just Heard Someone The Other Day Call It Either ‘smurfing’ A Movie, Which Is When There’s One Female Character, Or ‘minioning’ A Movie, Which Is When There’s No Female Characters.
