I'll just dive in very quickly. We certainly believe in the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media's ethos “If she can see it, she can be it”, so Heather and I and our home union have worked to create opportunity at all levels, be it in union leadership—where Heather and I have both been leaders—leading actors and advocating for policy change at the highest level. It's a top-down inspiration for society, for our members, and for the movies.
We're hoping, in our home union, that we've made opportunities for the young emerging artists, to say, “It's your world. You're going to be running our whole world. If you want to be the next president of this union or be running your own theatre company or be in your own movie, start now. You are it. You are the change. You are the everything.”
We mentor. We give opportunity. However, it's experience that makes you happy to take the next step, isn't it? It's having the opportunity first, when there is so much systemic advantage for the men in our industry. At 36, the women in our industry as actors are not as sought after. We see the trajectory. Men have opportunity right into their seventies.
