“I give up.”

PATTY JENKINS

The Wonder Woman director, to Variety, sharing her exasperati­on at women having been shut out of the Oscars’ directing category. Jenkins emphasized that the industry still has “a long way to go.” “I was hurt, and I discussed it with my family and I cried to my husband.”

PRIYANKA CHOPRA JONAS

The Love Again actress, at a SXSW event, revealing that she confided in spouse Nick Jonas after being body-shamed for not being “sample-size.” “I think a lot of the noise that you hear about this case is actually not about the law. And it’s not about journalism. It’s really about the politics.”

LACHLAN MURDOCH

JANUARY JONES

The Mad Men star, on Instagram, expressing frustratio­n with the new norm of Zoom auditions and self-tapes, which might be convenient for casting directors but are, Jones says, “time consuming, expensive and a drag” for actors. “It’s almost like when you have a pro football team … and then a new owner comes in and says, ‘Not my coach, not my quarterbac­k. I’m going to go with somebody new.’ ”

DWAYNE JOHNSON

The Black Adam star, to Variety, reflecting on Henry Cavill’s DC exit as a result of James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over leadership of the studio.
