On being vocal about her beliefs: "I always tended to be outspoken with my opinions. Whether they were appropriate or not."
On the mission of her production and media companies: "The idea is to put women at the center of the story. I was sick of making movies where I was the only female lead on the set. I was sick of seeing scripts where there was one female role, badly written, and yet every actress in town wanted the part because there was nothing else."
On the importance of diversifying Hollywood: "I finally asked myself, Why does it have to be the same 20 people making all the movies? Maybe there is room for a more inclusive idea about who can be on-screen and who can get it funded. Maybe there are different ways to get content made so that the world we see on-screen looks more like the world we walk through in real life."
