It's actually kind of cool that women have taken to me. Because now I have a whole different demographic when it comes to the audiences. I have women who come out and support my movies, and that is a huge demographic for me, which is great because some actors don't have a female base at all.

I'm attracted to strong female roles: females that aren't necessarily defined by their relationships with men.

It's a misogynistic world. It's because of what we ask of actresses. We ask them to be sensitive, fragile, desirable. And men? We ask them to be strong and virile.

I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women.

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

The great thing about women directors is that they're not only involved in the performances - they can gauge where we all are personally and know how to direct us better because of that.

My entire career stands on the strong pillars of women-oriented films. This stems from the fact that I am sensitive to the entire aura and mystique of a woman and womanhood.

If some people think it shows a feminine side to be in the theater, I've never felt that. And I'll openly say that an intelligent person who is a sensitive person will be and should be in touch with their inner female.

It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women.

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.
