Political stories in general are tough. They just don't appeal to as wide an audience.

I think of feminism as more of a political ideology.

With female-oriented movies, unless it's something like 'Bridesmaids' or a romantic comedy, you've got to really worry about your opening weekend. And I'm always telling stories about women, not younger women, and it's just a much tougher audience to get to the movie theater.

To me, feminism is such a simple description: it's equal rights, economic rights, political rights, and social rights.

I'm almost numb to misogyny at this point. It's just everywhere.

Whenever I've seen shows or films set here, they just don't feel like the real Nashville to me.
