Quote by Melissa Rosenberg

Studios, because they are investing a great deal of money in movies, they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based, so they pigeonhole people. But I've written everything, from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy, I've done it all.

Summary

This quote highlights the limitations and fear-based decision-making that prevails in the movie industry. Studios prioritize financial investment and seek filmmakers who can guarantee success. Consequently, artists might be typecast or restricted to specific genres that have proven to be profitable. The speaker, however, acknowledges their versatility and ability to explore various genres, including Westerns, science fiction, and dramedy.

Women should be permitted to volunteer for non-combat service, they should not be accepted, voluntarily or through the draft, as combat soldiers. We know of no comparable ways of training women and girls, and we have no real way of knowing whether the kinds of training that teach men both courage and restraint would be adaptable to women or effective in a crisis.

This is what I meant by saying that women in combat might be too fierce.
