If you just look at the number of roles for women versus the number of roles for men in any given film, there are always far more roles for men. That's always been true. When I went to college, I went to Julliard. At that time - and I don't know if this is still true - they always selected fewer women than men for the program, because there were so few roles for women in plays. That was sort of acknowledgment for me of the fact that writers write more roles for men than they do for women.

Gillian Jacobs

I'm committed to jumping into roles, worlds, and stories that historically actors who look like me have been left out of.

KiKi Layne

I am constantly trying to push my boundaries and break the mould that has been made for leading actresses, and it is such great fun.

Bhumi Pednekar

I want to do roles that allow me to push my boundaries and provoke us to think differently.

Lisa Haydon

It's been the greatest gift that I've been given. Because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until I had a kid. And then all of sudden I was like, "Oh. I have to be more patient." They were all like, "Yeah! We've been telling you that for twenty years!" And I find it to be a gift. Every day I'm more patient.

Mila Kunis

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.

Helen Keller

As a performer, I want to push my boundaries and try different roles.

Amy Jackson

I know, I pick up the roles other actresses don’t want [laughs]. When there’s movies where there are two sisters and one’s the uglier sister, there’s always no actress that wants to go for it. I’m like, why not! They’re the best roles!

Rebel Wilson

My goal has always been to push the boundaries, to aim for the stars.

Hardwell

Historically, the British have always been rather wary of grand engineering projects - perhaps understandably, given that many of them have been delivered late and over budget.

Evan Davis

I've always been involved in the visual aspect of my work, and moreover, it's very important in days where technology allows us to push the boundaries even more than when I started out.

Jean-Michel Jarre

If you look at the history of art and fashion, it's always been political. It's always been pushing boundaries.

Yara Shahidi

It's important for me to not just do the same type of roles and movies that I've seen actresses that look like me do.

It is women who have traditionally, historically been given non-human roles, perceived as simply the daughters of Eve, perceived as either Madonna or whore. And I think that it is the sexual revolution that plays one part in female emancipation.

Hugh Hefner

It doesn't help that we are three generations of actresses, who are always obsessed with losing time. But on the other side, historically, women have much more time on their hands than before. It goes together-the more time we have, the more we're flipping out about how we've got to deal with it.
