I think that we're in a really amazing time, where there are really a lot of really fantastic female actresses and comedians. I imagine there's just a lot of opportunity for women to have powerful roles. Or it's just that there's more women writing TV. Women tend to maybe write strong women.

We have to give feminism a shot. Out of sheer self preservation, we have to stand aside and let women run the show.

It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.

We've made so much headway with storytelling - mostly on cable, let's be honest - but also on the networks and, you know, I think it's about time that the leads are women. I'm not a woman, so I'm a bit biased - I wouldn't mind if a few roles were left over for men.

In television, women can really run anything. It can be a comedy, it can be a drama, it can be genre, it can be anything. But in films, women are still getting to the top.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

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

I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.

I think women are sick and tired of being portrayed as victims, a lot of the time anyway, the bulk of their time on film.

Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
