“When we see society telling women that they have a certain time, that they make women compete with each other, the older generation competing with the younger generation. They've made us believe that there's not enough men out there for us or that we're only hired because of our looks and not because of our abilities.” MenBelieveLooksMadeEnoughCertainAbilityGenerationsCompetingYounger GenerationOlder Generation Author:Karla Souza
“There's a lot of lies out there that we should catch and that have taken me a lot of time to sort of see, and reading up on it and getting educated on it. I'm reading a book that's about how images of beauty have hurt women along the decades. It's a very educating but infuriating thing to see, how we don't have equal opportunity because they're demanding so much more.” ShouldBookLyingReadingOpportunityHurtTakenEqualDecadesEducatedEqual OpportunityInfuriating Author:Karla Souza
“In the movie [Everybody Loves Somebody], the sister tells my character, "No, don't you want to be with someone?" I think the family - especially in this movie - they know that the reason that Clara doesn't want to have an emotional, intimate relationship is more because she was hurt so badly from heartbreak that she's then being closed off and cynical.” ThinkingKnowsWantReasonCharacterHurtEmotionalIntimateCynicalIntimate RelationshipsClaraWant To Be With Someone Author:Karla Souza

“Something I was adamant about was that the movie [Everybody Lovess Somebody] wouldn't end with, oh, marriage saved [the main character]. They're married and she's OK. I was very pushing on having the ending be that she made an inner growth of healing so that she can then have the ability and the space to love and be loved by someone else, and that love is open-ended and doesn't mean they're going to get married tomorrow and all her problems are solved.” MeanMadeEndsCharacterProblemGrowthAbilitySpaceLove IsHealingTomorrowMarriedSavedPushingMain CharactersAdamantInner GrowthPushing On Author:Karla Souza

“I told my friend - we were working on a movie together - and he gave me a script and asked me to give him notes. And they were all male characters, and I said, "You know what would make this character more interesting?" And he asked what - and it's this road trip between three guys, basically, one older man, one 30-year-old and a 13-year-old mechanic. And I said, "If you make the 13-year-old a girl, and you make her an Indian-American mechanic." And he said, "What do you mean?" And I said, "Yeah, don't change anything in the script about him, and just make it a her."” IfsKnowsMenGivingYearsMeanSaidCharacterTogetherGuyGirlThreeInterestingMy FriendsYeahNotesMalesScriptsIndianMechanicDon't ChangeAmerican IndianRoad TripOlder Man Author:Karla Souza
