"I love strong women, not only in life but in craft"
About this Quote
The phrasing matters. "Strong women" is a cultural shorthand that can mean anything from boundary-setting to career dominance, but it also has a PR sheen. It reassures audiences that the speaker isn't threatened by female power, a useful posture in an industry that has spent the last decade publicly renegotiating gender dynamics. The line also dodges specifics: he doesn't name qualities (funny, complicated, messy, ambitious), just the safely applauded adjective. That vagueness is strategic; it keeps the statement broadly agreeable.
"In craft" is the tell. It's not just about dating preferences or personal virtue; it's a claim about artistic appetite. Garrett is aligning himself with women who can command a scene, writers who can steer a room, performers who don't exist to be reactive. The subtext: he wants collaborators who elevate the work and, by association, elevate him. The compliment is real, but it's also branding - a way to say, in one clean sentence, that his taste runs toward women with agency both on the page and off it.
