One nice thing about being a woman in Hollywood is that the women tend to be very close-knit. All of us writers and directors know each other and cling to each other for safety and support and it's really a completely different vibe than the men experience out here where they're all trying to murder each other.
You know it shouldn't just be about women as heroic figures overcoming things it just needs to be about women in general getting the opportunity to play a multitude of roles telling a multitude of stories - just to express human experience from a woman's perspective. I hope someday we can get to that point. I'm all about representation.
Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.' Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.
The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself and from that one resultant from that embrace comes every new action.
It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience having gone through persona changes like that that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be.
Women always excel men in that sort of wisdom which comes from experience. To be a woman is in itself a terrible experience.
I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict every experience and learn from it. Life is never dull.
A woman's life can really be a succession of lives each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge and each marked off by some intense experience.
I said on the equality side of it that it is essential to a woman's equality with man that she be the decision-maker that her choice be controlling.
The work that must be done for each woman to reconnect with her psyche and to give herself a chance to live her own life is essentially the same. The realization of the equality of all races the equality of all beings is essential.
