The essence of my work, and of me, is the softer side of a strong woman, and that goes into a number of different roles.

I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.

Perhaps what distinguishes my characters is their courage and spirit and a certain stubbornness which enables them to keep going even when facing a setback. I think this developed organically as I wrote, but also it came out of a desire to portray women as powerful and intelligent forces in the world.

A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined not be done.

I'm attracted to strong female roles: females that aren't necessarily defined by their relationships with men.

I'm really inspired by playing strong women. Anything that I can be a part of like that, to be a role model for young women.

Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women.

I want to play positive role models - women who mean something to other women.

Where a man's strength and courage is tested most is in the way that he treats women - the way that he loves.
