Ale Quotes
A small, varied set of reflections.
This is a modest, loosely connected collection, grounded mainly in a historical comparison of the scale of wartime scientific effort between two countries. Other entries touch briefly on film ratings and the kinds of scripts actors look for. Related quotes appear in our Life quotes.

- Chaos
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm definitely more attracted to chaos than to order. The point is, I find the female roles out there very cliche. If we are limited to being only lovers or mothers, we are limiting ourselves.
- Gun

I trained with the FBI in Portland and I also had many conversations with female FBI agents in Los Angeles, as well. That was again something that also came in very handy for Basic, because I'd learned already how to handle a gun and how to behave just physically when you're in a situation, a threat. That was very good to know.
- Complicit

- Nov 07, 2020
As long as we suspect female actors of being somehow complicit in their own victimization, as willing participants in their own humiliation, we shame the victim and enable the culture of silence that allows predators to act with impunity.
- Dinner

- Nov 07, 2020
For dinner, I have at least four or five different vegetables of all colors: purple, orange, green and red. I eat as many colors as possible, including carrots, broccolini, asparagus, cauliflower, kale and more.
- Lost
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, my mythology growing up was 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' and 'Star Wars' and 'E.T.' and 'Ghostbusters.' That's what I grew up on, and there aren't many people who can write that kind of scale of story, stories that are that big.
- Believe

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't believe that a female character needs to surrender her femininity in order to be an action hero.
- Female Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's no need for a female character that does things like a male character; that's not what makes interesting female characters in my view.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Intimacy between humans need not be relegated to independent film. Real characters can exist no matter what the scale of a movie is.

Background checks, waiting periods, reports of transfers, and access to mental health records have not stopped the legal sale of firearms to legitimate buyers.
- Media
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the truth about male friendship is often left out of the media, and it's that it has a million different shades, because masculinity has a million different forms.
- History

- Nov 07, 2020
I just feel honored to play Wonder Woman in some incarnation. She's got such history, and she's, like, the first female superhero.
- Male

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm like the male Taylor Swift.
- Exquisitely
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I say 'spectacle' rather than 'story' because in the end, it isn't the intricacies of narrative that draw us to horror films. When it's there, I'm grateful for the director's skill at telling an exquisitely nuanced tale filled with psychological insight, but it is the spectacles that I take home with me.

Anthropology in general has always been fairly hospitable to female scholars, and even to feminist scholars.
