I never ever give thought to ratios, or making a political
statement, or anything other than the story. If that meant using 100%
female cast in the movie, or 100% male cast, or some variation thereof,
then that's what it'll be. I think the *instant* you start putting
agendas ahead of the creative process, of saying "What is the story
*about*?" then I think you're dead.

Yes, there we noticed a lapse because the show was getting (and
still tends to be) a little too white-bread for my tastes, though we've
gotten a bit better lately.
