The #MeToo movement doesn't belong to Republicans or the Democrats. The #MeToo movement belongs to women who are having the courage to come forward and say this is wrong. People should be protected. We want that for all of our daughters and all of our sisters. We also want there to be rights for the accused.

Ben Sasse

The MeToo movement has made everyone more professional. The trashy aspects of filmmaking are now eliminated. There is certainly fear and caution among those men who think they can get away with any behaviour. At the same time, we have to be careful about not overdoing the enthusiasm of the MeToo movement.

Vikrant Massey

MeToo is a good movement, but women should not misuse it... MeToo should be used correctly.

Rajinikanth

It's up to comedians to shine the light on what's wrong in the world, and we don't want things swept under the rug.

Jeff Ross

I 100% want to support the movement, #MeToo and Time's Up. We are a sisterhood.

Jodie Whittaker

The #MeToo movement is a very important movement. It's messy. And it's complicated. And there are places where it's going to overreach.

Ben Sasse

I fail to understand why the #MeToo campaign in India didn't gain momentum when Malayalam actor Dileep was arrested after an actress was abducted and assaulted or when Telugu actress Sri Reddy was banned for talking about sexual harassment. These instances were more deserving of the #MeToo movement than anything else.

Payal Rohatgi

Like every woman, I do have a #MeToo story, but if somebody wants to share something personal, they should do it when they want to, not because there is a movement or someone else is talking about it.

Mahira Khan

I'm proud that my sister has started #MeToo movement in India and the nation has supported her. Media has played a vast role in giving this movement the much needed push but it must not be derailed with false accusations.

Ishita Dutta

For me this is not something that can be swept under the rug and forgotten in the interest of forced Sunday togetherness.

Potter Stewart

When you're first pregnant, you don't want to talk about the idea that a miscarriage or premature birth is possible. The difficulties of things like that kind of get swept under the rug, and when they happen to us we are blindsided and think we are the only people going through it.

Chris Sullivan

The globalization that has swept away the barriers to the movement of goods, ideas and people has also swept with it barriers that confined and localized security threats.

Mohamed ElBaradei

I believe the #Metoo movement is here to stay.

Padmapriya Janakiraman

I make my films because I'm affected by a situation, by something that makes me want to reflect on it, that lends itself to an artistic reflection. I always aim to look directly at what I'm dealing with. I think it's a task of dramatic art to confront us with things that in the entertainment industry are usually swept under the rug.
