It is a difficult one, as you get scripts where women are just objects.

I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.

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.

Every time there's a really good story, there's women in it. We may not get as many roles, but the roles we get are really good, I think, for the most part.

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

I'd love to write something for a male protagonist. That's sort of the next frontier for me. I think it'd be really amazing to write the kind of parts that I love for women but for a guy.

There are a lot of women screenwriters, but they are obviously outnumbered by men. And it still is a very much male-dominated industry.

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

Nobody is surprised that women writers accurately represent male characters over and over again, no doubt because everybody knows that women understand men much better than vice-versa.

Females want other females to be really strong, so there are a whole lot of scripts that are basically just male parts renamed as a girl.
