We wanted to do a woman on a reality show because that's what's happening right now-it's part of our culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It used to be only on TV that women could lead, that a show could be based on a woman.
When I go to a web video meeting and look around, at least half the show runners are women. And a lot are actors-cum-writers who are frustrated with the situation of being a woman actor in Hollywood and have decided to create their own show.
It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.
Also, it was a cultural moment that wasn't being represented in terms of women who were successful and had choices they didn't have before. They needed a show that they can watch that they felt like represented them.
Women on television are not a fad; we are not a trend - we are a reality!
Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
Women didn't want to be on the stage with other women because they didn't want their bodies to be compared. They didn't want another female act opening for them because of this weird competitive and tokenistic attitude.
There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.
We have to give feminism a shot. Out of sheer self preservation, we have to stand aside and let women run the show.
We don't need any more reality TV, women yelling at each other. I can't watch that stuff.
