I think that I do separate myself a fair amount. And I don't feel like I am representing women. That's up to however people interpret it once they sort of see it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As women, we need to stand together. We are judged and objectified often enough by men.
I've always tried to be conscious of how I represent women in my work. They don't have to be good or strong women, but they have to be complex.
Sometimes it's not even a role that's specifically written for a woman. It could be a role written for a white man or Asian man, or Latino. If it's something that I feel I could do well, I go after it. Especially if it's nothing that has to be gender or race specific, I'm all over it.
I am a feminist. Women are discriminated against in so many ways, and they make up half the population.
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.
We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.
If people see anything I do and the way I live my life, there is no ambiguity about me being a feminist.
I am a woman. I go on set, and I'll be who I am, and I'll represent who I am. I think it comes with age.
I'm not an elected official who puts a finger in the wind to see what the majority thinks; I represent women, whether they're popular or not.
All you can do is be your best self. I've always felt that I had to be that much more aware of how I present myself. I'm representing more than just me. I think every person should think that way.
