Strong female leads are important.

Women are responsible for creating their own roles.

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.

It's so rare that you actually get to find a really well-written female lead.

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.

It's hard to find female leads that are flawed and interesting and dynamic.

Strong female leads make more of an impact in the U.K. than in Denmark.

I believe it is in the world's interest to develop environments that fully engage women and leverage their natural talents.

Women leading means that Congress is working to create jobs, make quality child care more affordable and strengthen the middle class because we understand that America grows the economy and opportunity from the middle out, not the top down.

Women hold up more than half the sky and represent much of the world's unrealized potential. They are the educators. They raise the children. They hold families together and increasingly drive economies. They are natural leaders. We need their full engagement... in government, business and civil society.
