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

Women are in many ways second-class citizens in the United States in 2016, because of the way that we're portrayed in popular culture.

All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.

I would say how important it is that we stop teaching kids, from the beginning, that boys are more important than girls. It's the 21st century, you know, let's go here. We have to show kids that boys and girls share the sandbox equally and do equally interesting things. We're teaching kids something that we have to try to get rid of later on. Why not just stop filling them with unconscious gender bias?

My daughter was a toddler. I had no idea there was anything wrong with kids' media.I started watching little preschool shows with her or G-rated videos or whatever; I couldn't believe what I was seeing, that there seemed to be far more male characters than female characters in what we make for little kids. It was just a shock.

I once read a quote that I think was Michelle Pfeiffer in an article, who said that she thought people went into acting because maybe if you could convince millions of people to like you, you will finally like yourself, approve of yourself. I don't know if that may have been a part of it.

I'm such a wuss. But I know that The Exorcist [1973] is one of the best and most famous of [horor movies].
