Geena Davis

I remember when 'A League of Their Own' was coming out in '92, when I was doing interviews, it seemed like every interviewer at some point would say, 'So... would you consider this a feminist movie?' People are worried that it's a taboo thing, so I took great relish in saying, 'Yes, I would. Write that, yes.' ”

Having been in some roles that really resonated with women, I became hyper-aware of how women are represented in Hollywood. ”

We're showing kids a world that is very scantily populated with women and female characters. They should see female characters taking up half the planet, which we do. ”

So many other countries have had female leaders, in fact the U.S. ranks 61st in female representation in government and I think it is startling and sign of a change that needs to be made. ”

I get the feeling that characters are written female when they have to be, and all the other characters are male, and it doesn't occur to somebody that the lawyer, the best friend, the landlord, whoever, can be female. ”

I was averaging about one movie a year my whole career, and that was because I'm fussy. I probably could have done more. ”

Certainly 'Wonder Woman' needed to be made, and I'm so beyond thrilled with how it came out. I met Patty Jenkins, and I told her, 'I'm sure you're going to make a sequel, and if you need anybody Amazonian, there's always me. I'm available.' ”

If I go to hotels, they always say, 'Welcome back', even when I've never been there before. ”

Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live. ”

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!' ”
