I haven't ever gone to any Mensa meetings.

The only time I got the absolute most insanely nervous in my life was at the Olympic trials, because archery is a horrible spectator sport. Nobody goes and watches an archery tournament. Because the targets are three-quarters of a football field away. Who can tell who's winning? You can't even see your own target from where you are.

When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.

I was tall from minute one. Always the tallest kid by a large margin. And my fantasy was to take up less space in the world.

I wish I knew who said it, but my favorite quote is, "If a person can do it, I can do it."

The creators of kids' media had no idea they were leaving out that many female characters. They were in utter shock that the worlds they were creating were so bereft of female presences.

I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.
