“I’m always trying to get out of acting,” she said in a conversation while presenting her new movie, The New Boy.

“I’ve been trying to stop acting my entire professional life.”

She went on to talk about her work as a producer, which she said “feels (like) an extension, for me, of my work as an actor.”

She added that some of her work in film “involves me being in front of the lens,” but “sometimes it’s back behind [the lens]” where she gets to be “a little bit too bossy.”

Cate executive produced 2015′s Carol, in which she also starred, as well as last year’s Tár.

She also revealed her 2020 mini-series Mrs. America is where she and producing partner Coco Francini first met and decided moving forward that “you must interview a woman and you must interview a person of color.”

“We’ve both had experiences where we walked on set and done the headcount and you wonder why you sort of slightly feel alienated and annoyed some days,” she said.

“I realize that I’m the only woman in the cast…there are 62 men, and yep, I’m the only woman. This ratio is bad. It’s really disproportionate. And it means that you’re always laughing at the same jokes. I do have a really good sense of humor, but it’s like, let’s change it up.”

“I look forward to the day where we don’t even need to have interviews about women in cinema,” she continued.
