'By the way, that is something that has not changed — there are still just times when people are like 'she’s too old' or 'she’s too tall,'' the 'Speechless' actress said.

Driver said comments like the one she received that distill a performer down to their “sexiness” — regardless of whether those statements come from “a man or woman or nonbinary person” — are “so dismissive.” “By the way, that is something that has not changed — there are still just times when people are like ‘she’s too old’ or ‘she’s too tall,'” theactress said. “I’ve always thought about how things get distilled. There’s this notion of one part of you being ‘the thing’ that will block all these other aspects of who you are. That’s a huge frustration as an actor.”
While Driver admitted she had insecurities about her looks growing up, and working in a culture that told her that looks “were the currency I was meant to pursue,” she didn’t cave to industry pressure — and she’s grateful she didn’t. “I thank God that I didn’t do a ton of stuff that I could have then gone and done … It could have been way more damaging than it was,” she said. “I had such a lovely family going, ‘Fuck that. You’re gorgeous on all these levels. And if one person doesn’t think that you’re pretty enough, fuck it.'”
