In all the horror films that I have done, all of those women were strong women. I don't feel I ever played the victim, although I was always in jeopardy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love strong women in films that are allowed to play women and not male fantasies.
I think women are sick and tired of being portrayed as victims, a lot of the time anyway, the bulk of their time on film.
When I got out of my Twenties I stopped playing women that were victims. I like playing women who are strong and have a piece of mind.
I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.
I wish I were as tough and strong as the women that I'm lucky enough to portray.
Very rarely am I attracted to characters that are 'woe is me.' I'm not a big fan of women that have to be the victim and need to be saved, at all times. I don't necessarily think that's how it is, in real life, and I don't think that's how it should be in films.
I'm personally fed up with people seeing women and girls cast as victims.
In life, single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies, they are given imaginary power.
I guess I've played a lot of victims, but that's what a lot of the history of women is about.
There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are the 'poor heartbroken girl.'
