Entertainment Weekly takes you inside our roundtable discussion with some of Hollywoods smartest, funniest and bravest actresses.
Actresses are supposed to be beautiful.
Not outspoken content creators with opinions, desires and agendas.
But Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Eva Longoria, and Elizabeth Banks are all of those things.
So we gathered them together for an unfiltered conversation about what women can and cant do.
They spill it all.
Looks like thats what happens when you dont just #AskHerMore, you #AskHerEverything.
Below are some highlights from that roundtable conversation; the full video of which will be released online Friday.
Its this idea you have to be twice as good to get half of what they have.
Thats just the truth.
I think its the same for women.
You just know, you have to be twice as good.
In a way, until girls dont have that feeling, we will not have done our jobs.
Thats almost the point: to not feel the pressure to be extraordinary.
(See the full video clip above.)
I felt very underused.
I went to a really competitive college.
I went to grad school.
Im competitive naturally as a human being.
And this male star was starring in it, and there was a girlfriend part.
And I thought, Youve got to be kidding me.
No, Im not interested.
And I thought, Oh, thats where were at?
Youre fighting to be the girlfriend in a dumb comedy?
And by the way, two Oscar winners did it.
Eva Longoria on the power of social media:
I remember starting on Twitter.
I loved the immediate way I could correct things.
At the time there were just so may lies.
It was stupid stuff, like Evas pregnant, Evas pregnant, Evas pregnant.
Im like, Guys, I ate a burger.
Im not pregnant… because my mom would call!
