Romola Garai may just have made the best introduction I have ever heard at the BAFTA’s:
“Hello. After giving birth to my child earlier this year, I had the fortune of having 23 stitches in my vagina, so I didn’t think I’d be laughing at anything particularly soon. But this group of nominees have proved me wrong.”
Romola Garai FTW!

“I think a lot about what makes a strong female character. You know, movies and TV shows, these things have influence, my own website. So I think the question of “What makes a strong female character?”, often goes misinterpreted. And instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen, who maybe have one quality that’s played up a lot. Like, you know, a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot and it’s seen as power. But they’re not strong characters who happen to be female, they’re completely flat and they’re basically cardboard characters.
The problem with this is that then people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy. And women happen to be people!”-Tavi Gevinson for TEDTalks [x]
