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

I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.

Even though I was 34 or 35 or something. I was like, “People can do that? Women can actually just say what they think?” It was an extraordinary experience to do that movie with her because every day was a lesson in how to just be yourself.

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.

Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.

I almost never get nervous. I have ice water in my veins.

I was 16 or something. [My aunt] broadened my understanding of what women could be like and do and that there's a big world out there. So she had a huge impact on me.
