Sometimes it's more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.

Hollywood usually doesn't have strong woman in films like that, and it's stupid, so for the most part they're usually being directed and written by men.

Women's roles in the movies remain, for the most part, girlfriends, mothers, wives.

It's rare to see women in a film who are not somehow validated by a male or discussing a male or heartbroken by a male,or end up being happy because of a male. It's interesting to think about, and it's very true.

When you look at movies like 'Titanic,' they make money because of women. They go to see it and bring their men, too.

I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women. You can see that clearly with things like 'The Hunger Games.'

There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.

There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.

The stronger the participation of the female characters, the better the movie. They knew that in the old days, when women stars were equally as important as men.
