Harper's Bazaar reports, 'she insists in all her contracts that there’s an inclusion rider.'

This means, 'she can ensure a 50:50 male/female workforce.'

Sophie talks #MeToo Movement

The actress opens up about her experience in the Entertainment Industry.

'I’ve had moments where I’ve thought in hindsight, 'That was not an OK thing for someone to do,' but I’ve never had anything as extreme as these awful Weinstein cases.'

'Almost half the people you meet in the industry have some sort of tale to tell.'

'We’d talk about it before, but no one was saying, 'This is weird, someone should speak up.''

'People had this idea about Hollywood that it’s big and glamorous and crazy things happen and,'That’s showbiz, baby.''

'Suddenly people started looking at it from a more humane point of view and saying, 'It’s not OK. It’s abuse'.'

'I think everyone’s a bit terrified. Old men... who-ever’s committing these awful crimes.'

'It’s not just being publicly shamed, it’s proper consequences.'

She continues, 'it's losing your jobs and going to court. It’s great that these things have happened.'
