There will always be women who say, 'She doesn't represent me.' In retrospect, these things are gifts, because it forces me to step up and defend what I'm doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always tried to be conscious of how I represent women in my work. They don't have to be good or strong women, but they have to be complex.
I like to think that I represent myself as a strong woman, so to work with other strong women I find very inspiring.
The more powerful you become, some people especially don't like it that you're a woman. I stick up for myself.
I encourage women to just feel good about who you are.
I try to be as thoughtful as I can about everything that comes out of my mouth and not reinforce sexism.
A woman's gifts will make room for her.
I find the whole concept of women screaming at me so odd. It's very flattering, but I don't think I will ever consider myself to be a sex symbol.
You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism.
We are never doing anyone any favors by withholding our gifts from the world. It's scary to be fierce, but you can't compromise that for fear of losing those around you.
I have no illusions at all about being a sex symbol. None of my former girlfriends ever thought of me that way, and I don't have any packs of women chasing me down the street like a Brad Pitt or someone like that.
