That wasn’t something that everybody thought. And so she didn’t understand when people said that it was inappropriate for her to be doing what she was doing, that she didn’t look right, she wasn’t girly. We, to a certain extent, have definitely overcome that. I feel much more - I can say whatever I want and I can look however I want, but we are definitely put in boxes, like, annoyingly so. Especially compared to guys - I know for a fact because I’ve known so many actors personally, and also I’m interested in it so I pay attention. Guys have more room for personality. You’re allowed to be yourself. You’re allowed to be different and people don’t really comment on it. But as a girl, you have much, much less room to be yourself. It’s just weird. Everybody has to be the same.” (x)
