Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.

I realized that in all the sectors of society where there's a huge gender disparity, the one place that can be fixed overnight is onscreen. You think about getting half of Congress, or the presidency ... It's going to take a while no matter how hard we work on it. But half of the board members and half of the CEOs can be women in the next movie somebody makes; it can be absolutely half.

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

I wanted to take up a sport the real way and see if I actually had athletic ability. And then I happened to see it was during the Atlanta Olympics. And there was a lot of coverage of archery because the U.S. men's team won all the medals. And I thought, "Wow, that's beautiful. And it's so dramatic, a beautiful sport. And I wonder if I would be good at it?"

The second I finish shooting something, I know I could have done it better if we started right then.

I do like the process of producing. Later in my career, like when I had the TV show, I was a producer and I've been on a few things.

I don't think male characters are as one-dimensional as female characters.
