Every single thing she said must be listened to and taken to heart.

I don't know of one woman that was not put in the worst situations possible in LA. I actually had female crew members come and stand by me because they knew no man would ever come over and harass a woman with me as their bodyguard. No guy walks up to a female lighting tech and try to harass me, let alone someone hanging on to me for safety.

This why why cable companies won't make BBC a part of basic cable, we may learn something and raise our standards.

Thank you Emma.

This too... Hell yes, this too!

Thank you!

As we all know, U.S. broadcasters are complicit with the GOP in wrecking this country. The BBC is totally more truthful.

She's right about this, of course.

She has the kind of looks where she can look very different, almost like a different person, from movie to movie, and here in this interview. She can look very pretty or very homely.

She was great in Nanny McPhee. And Howard's End. And Henry V. And Much Ado About Nothing. And Peter's Friends. And Love Actually. And Last Chance Harvey. And....

Emma and Meryl are my two faves in the acting community. They are both brilliant artists, IMO...
