To be honest, I felt stomachache. And I wondered: what does it really mean to be a woman in Hollywood? We are not just objects to entertain the world. We are not just pictures to bring smiles or grimaces to people's faces. We are not members of a giant beauty contest intended to be a match against another to the delight of the spectators. We women in Hollywood, we are voices. We have deep thoughts as well as ideas, beliefs and values about the world and we have the power to speak and be heard and to respond when we are silenced. "
