Some quotes...

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter from the Prague set of ' The Zookeeper's Wife,' the Oscar-nominated actress reveals the good things that can happen with a woman director (Niki Caro). For starters, more females get hired: "This comes from when women in power make room for other women."

"I was talking to other actors about this recently, and the wonderful thing about having so many women on set is there hasn't been anyone who has screamed or anything like that. It's a very collaborative experience, and it's been heaven for me."

"Many times a movie gets tested before it sees the light of day, and I've starred in movies that test much better with women than they do with men. But the problem with that is the majority of critics are men, so those movies that test really high for women are then having men critique them. And it means we need more female critics — we need to level the playing field here."
