I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.

Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.

I'm a huge fan of good, procedural-type shows on television... there are a lot of roles for women. But there aren't a lot of great network television roles for girls that will let you start a character in one place and finish up with her in a totally different one.

I really like getting inside the heads of female characters. I think I can do that well, and I enjoy it.

I want to keep playing strong female roles. I don't mean superheroes, but women who are really alive.

I write characters. Some of those characters are women.

I'd like to do something where there's a strong female character and some action. I've done a few stunts in the past.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.

It's interesting to play a female character who's not ever using feminine wiles to get things done.

What I really want to do is create great roles for women. And I'm not talking Nicholas Sparks romance. I think women's roles have gotten ghettoized in these sort of places... I'm thinking women in action, comic books, or like the Tony Soprano of women. We need some complex roles.
