Women Are In Many Ways Second-class Citizens

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."

There Were So Many Women Who Had Worked Throughout The War In Every Possible Job. They Were Told, "now Leave, So The Men Can Come In" And There Was This Whole Feminizing Of Women: You Have To Be Very, Very Retiring And Submissive And Whatever.

I Immediately Noticed There Were Far More Male Characters Than Female Characters In The Programs, Even Now, In The 21st Century.

I Meet Susan [saradon], And She Was Amazing. We Sit Down To Go Through The Script [thelma & Louise]. I Swear, I Think It Was Page One - She Says, "so My First Line, I Don't Think We Need That Line. Or We Could Put It On Page Two. Cut This ..." And I Was Just Like ... My Jaw Was To The Ground.

When I Started Out, Maybe Because I Did Thelma & Louise Early On - But People Were Always Asking, "are Things Better For Women Now?" I Would Say, "yeah, I Think So. It Seems Like It." Then A Few Years In, I Started Saying, "i Think So. I'm Getting A Lot Of Good Parts, But I Don't Know." Then Eventually, I Was Like, "google It. I Don't Know, But It Doesn't Seem Great."
