views scripts notes
My scripts are always filled with notes. I like to just analyze everything from the point of view of the whole picture, of the movie, my whole picture.
theater spokes
I love theater. Just, it never spoke to me.
summer couple school
I really only did theater in school in college. I did summer stock a couple of times in the summer, and plays that the school put on. But I knew I wanted to be in movies.I really only did theater in school in college. I did summer stock a couple of times in the summer, and plays that the school put on.

kids car parent
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, "Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe."
sequence
Obviously, movies don't almost ever shoot in sequence.
body stuff lingerie
I remember very distinctly being so tall I didn't fit sleeves, so I ended up modeling lingerie and bathing suits, sleeveless stuff, basically. I didn't have a good body, but I believed I knew how to stand or pose to mask it.
kids space world
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.
self trying want
I used to be very unathletic. I was always so gangly and self-conscious about my height. I had convinced myself I was uncoordinated. And as a result, I didn't want to try stuff.
moving kids watches
Once I fix what kids watch, I'll be moving on to everything else.
character female males
I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.
characters female half kids showing taking women
We're showing kids a world that is very scantily populated with women and female characters. They should see female characters taking up half the planet, which we do.
causes fact party president washington
As an Independent, she has no party backing... Her being the first Independent president trumps the fact that she's a woman. It causes even more upheaval in Washington than her being female.
looked though
I've always looked up to him, even though he is shorter.
certainly entertainment female few god help office people stays time woman
We're making this as entertainment. But God willing, if this show stays on and people see a woman in that office for a while, I think it will help people become more used to it. It's certainly about time that we had a few female presidents.
