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

I like to think that I represent myself as a strong woman, so to work with other strong women I find very inspiring.

I like to think I'm a role model for women. But I also don't like to just limit it to women. I like to think I'm a role model for human beings in general.

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.

Women somehow get portrayed as one type. You're either a feminist or you're not. You're a working woman or you're not. I'm raising two girls, and I say to them, 'I need you to be strong and soft. You can be smart and beautiful... You can be all of these things.'

I've been lucky to work consistently on women who I think are interesting, fleshed out, and strong and active participants in their destiny.

The imaginative leap for me of writing for women is no more difficult than the one of writing for men. I've always wanted to have women well represented in the work that I've done because I've always been around them and around the way they look at the world.

I'm surrounded by all these strong women - my publicist, my manager, and my wife - and sometimes I think that women are more evolved than men, and they are able to process a heartache better.

I feel like I'm a very good role model for women.

I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.
