The Second I Finish Shooting

I'm The Mother Of Two Daughters, One Of Whom Is Going To Get Possessed. It's Really Spooky And Great. I'm Shooting It Right Now. That's Why I'm In Chicago. I Wanted To Tell You About The Other Direction That This Trying-to-get-more-female-characters Thing Has Taken, Which Is That I Launched My Own Film Festival Last Year.

I Think If You're Doing A Play, You're Rehearsing Enough That You Get To A Point Where It's Freeing Again. But In A Movie, If You Rehearse Too Much, Now You've Just Shown Everybody What You're Going To Do. And Any Element Of Surprise Or Impulsiveness Is Taken Away.

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?

I Haven't Ever Gone To Any Mensa Meetings.

Kids Need To See Entertainment Where Females Are Valued As Much As Males.
