“And then I remember having a distinct feeling: Oh, this is what it’s like to be a man in Hollywood.” Wherever they go, they are in packs; there’s so much ease in that. And I just wanted more.

“I thought I had to make it an intention in my career. Work with other women and create opportunities for as many women as possible to work together.
