I Think It Is Really Important To

It's Really Fun To Watch Yourself Disappear In The Movie Every Day.

You Know, Women In Hollywood, We Don't Get Action Franchises And Superheroes. The Rom-coms That Made Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, And Reese Witherspoon Stars Are Out Of Favor Right Now- Nobody Is Making Them. In This Business, If You Are An Ambitious Person, You Don't Wait For People To Hand You Opportunities. You Have To Make A Way For Yourself.

When You Live In A Leading Lady's Body, Which I Do, You Have To Constantly Prove That You Are Funny.

I Mean Time Management Is A Big Factor In My Life. I'm A Very Organized Person. You Can Only Do One Thing At A Time, So That's The Main Way I Do Everything. When I'm With My Kids, I'm With My Kids. When I'm Directing A Movie, I'm Directing A Movie. When I'm Making Magic Mike, I'm Making Magic Mike. So You Just Really Have To Fragment And Focus.

There's More Empathetic Representations Than We're Used To Seeing. I Honestly Feel Like In The Early Days Of Hollywood, Women Did Have Those. Women Had Very Traditional Roles In Society Of Wife And Mother, But When They Went To The Movies, They Got To See Women Be, Like, Really Cool, Amazing Characters And Femme Fatales And All Of This. And Then There Was Just This Systemic Reaction Where It Was All About, "how Do We Make Money?" And Everybody Wants To Sell Things To Boys. And Then Women's Entertainment Became Devalued In A Way That I Think Is Disrespectful And Hurtful.
