Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it's a very honest emotion.

Anger can be a problem, but it has tremendous potential, too. It's just figuring out what to do with it.

Anger has been a really big deal for women: how can we express it without feeling that, as the physically weaker sex, we won't get killed. The alpha-woman was burned at the stake and had her head chopped off in days of old.

Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.

When you fight, anger drives up testosterone in both men and women.

There aren't very many good models of feminine rage - and the ones that we remember are ones where women take that anger internally and implode themselves in a real way, like Anna Karenina or Emma Bovary.

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.

I think anger is a normal response to something horrible that someone has done, another human being has done, and to rob people of life, and that's actually healthy to have, to feel that. At some point you have to figure out, 'How do I let that go?'

It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.
