Ever since Reese Witherspoon demanded that interviewers #AskHerMore on the red carpet by focusing less on details like what she’s wearing and more on her accomplishments, there’s been a massive push to have meaningful discussion with women on the red carpet. Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls took to the Emmys red carpet to keep the effort going. Armed with questions sourced from Twitter users, interviewers asked questions like, “How do you think we can better represent all cast types of women in the media, especially television?” and “What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done? What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever seen someone else do?”
Here are the best, most inspiring questions and answers—below:
