00:00We're celebrating women here this morning.

00:02What has it been like being part of a cast with so many powerful women in All's Fair?

00:06Well, doing All's Fair has been incredible.

00:09Of course, Ryan Murphy is phenomenal.

00:11But there is nothing better than coming to set with a whole group of women.

00:16To collaborate with women is, and women who truly support each other.

00:21I mean, really want to bring out the best in each other.

00:23Everyone's bringing their A game.

00:25They have each other's backs, and it's a beautiful thing.

00:27When you have that, there are no limits to where you can go with your work

00:32and explore creativity and collaboration.

00:36It's the best.

00:37It's safe.

00:37It's wonderful.

00:39I love that.

00:40And that's truly a dream cast of amazing women.

00:43But who's another woman in Hollywood that you'd love to collaborate with in the future

00:46who maybe you haven't worked with yet?

00:49There's so many great, incredible women.

00:51I would love to work with Nicole Kidman.

00:54I'd love to work with Charlize.

00:55I'd love to work with, oh my gosh, everywhere you turn in this room that I'm about to step

01:02into is going to be a woman that I'd love to collaborate with.

01:05Writers, producers, actresses.

01:08It's such a thrilling time where women are really able to carve out their own path now

01:15and kind of reclaim that creative power, too, which is thrilling.

01:19I just saw my mentor here, Sherry Lansing.

01:23And so for me, I'm just reflecting on my life and my journey that having her has been a beautiful gift in my life.

01:30And speaking of mentorship, you see what the foundation is the backbone of this event as well as honoring women.

01:40And it's extraordinary, the scholarships that are given and the nurturing and true mentorship.

01:47So that's one of the parts I'm most giddy about today is just to see the magic that the foundation creates

01:54and the impact that they have and have had all these years and will continue to.

01:59That's amazing.

02:00Can you speak a little bit more about how Sherry has been a mentor to you?

02:05Sherry, I met Sherry when I was about 21.

02:08And I sat in her office at Paramount.

02:09And my first job for her when she was running the studio was First Wives Club.

02:13So today's going to be particularly moving to see Goldie, who I've stayed in touch with all these years,

02:19honoring and speaking about beautiful Diane Keaton.

02:22So it's an inspiring day for sure on a lot of levels.

02:26But she's been there for me through the years when I've had business decisions or creative decisions.

02:32Sherry's really been a force in my life and a constant.

02:35So it's a lot of years.

02:37Two Midwest ladies in Hollywood.

02:40It's a beautiful thing.

02:41But I really found her and was able to turn to her at a time where I really needed her.

02:46It was right after Showgirls and she was the first studio to hire me a couple of years after that.

02:51So forever I love her.
