I understand, as the young, attractive woman in film, that there's always going to be people seeking out extra salacious things for you to do.

Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.

It's just cool for a girl to be able to do her own thing. I do a lot of movies, and I'm very lucky, and I'm not complaining. But in movies, alongside big action men, we've always got to take a step back and let the men shine.

I'd like to think at some point instead of it being a woman's film or a man's film, it is just a great story, and both sexes can go and get the same enjoyment out of it.

Those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences - they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.

The cool thing is that, unlike film, the theatre roles for women get better and better as you get older.

I get really excited every time there's a female character who is really strong because a lot of females in film are really soft.

I'm definitely looking forward to doing a film one day with more female actors.

A lot of filmmaking is an endurance contest between you and the people you're filming. Every time that you relax, I promise you, something interesting will happen.

You always hear actresses talk about how unromantic it is to act a love scene or a sex scene - which it is. You're doing it with all these lights on and cameras flying around and people on the set.
