This dapper little mouse that wore such cute clothes and said such interesting things, yeah. I thought it was a great idea to have a mouse like that in your family, so now I get to see what it was like.

I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.

The fictitious worlds created ...

The fictitious worlds created for kids are nearly bereft of female presence. It's sending a very clear message from the beginning that women and girls do not have half of the adventures, that they're not as important. We're teaching kids that girls and women don't take up half the space in the world.

The most important thing is to...

The most important thing is to change what children see from the beginning. To not create a problem we have to fix later.

Geena Davis 144 quotes

My theory of everything is tha...

My theory of everything is that we are training kids to have gender bias against girls, therefore when you are an adult, you don't see it. We think it's normal.

Geena Davis 144 quotes

We have it in our heads that w...

We have it in our heads that women only need to take up a certain amount of space and then we've done right by them. It's the same in every profession. We get a handful of women professors, a few female board members - that looks normal.

I had a pretty poor self-image...

I had a pretty poor self-image for a long time. I broke into acting as a model in New York. I was never anything like a 'supermodel,' but I made a living at it for a couple years. The thing was, I was convinced that I was tricking everyone into thinking I was attractive.

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.

I was tall from minute one. Al...

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.

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

Once I fix what kids watch, I'll be moving on to everything else.

Geena Davis 144 quotes

I used to be very unathletic. ...

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.

I don't know how in the twenty-first century we can possibly justify not showing girls things that they can aspire to, and at the same time, how can we possibly be showing boys this narrow vision of what women are and what they can be.

Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.

Geena Davis 144 quotes

All of Hollywood is run on one...

All of Hollywood is run on one assumption: That women will watch stories about men, but men won't watch stories about women. It is a horrible indictment of our society of we assume that one half of our population is just not interested in the other half.

We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.

Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows... I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.

My thing in high school was being the tallest kid in class. Always. I was always the tallest kid in class.

Geena Davis 144 quotes

I was all limbs and I was very...

I was all limbs and I was very convinced that I must be uncoordinated, so I didn't want to try any sports. And the girls' basketball team was constantly like, 'Please, please just come play.'

Geena Davis 144 quotes

I got cast playing the best baseball player anybody's ever seen. I don't know how to play any sport, including baseball, but I trained really hard. They had these great coaches, and they started saying, 'Wow, you have some like really untapped athletic ability.'
