I think I always had joie de vivre. But I had pretty bad self-esteem growing up and much of my adult life.

The most common occupation for women in G rated films is royalty - which is a great gig, if you can get it.

We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.

If it isn't a success, that still wouldn't be grounds for divorce.

It's a horrible and wonderful battle with yourself, to stay calm, stay in the moment. My coach said, "Stay here, not at the target. Don't be down there." It's why they call it the Zen art.

Ridiculously - fortunately - my first job was with Dustin Hoffman. I had a little part in this movie called Tootsie. And he taught me how to watch dailies. That it was very important.

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.
