I'm attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life. That's my own reality, so it's a doorway into a world for me.

I love strong women in films that are allowed to play women and not male fantasies.

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.

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.'

I love and really respect strong women. I'm obsessed with Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz. They are just really incredibly strong-willed, intelligent females in the industry.

I like strong women. I think a lot of women relate to strong characters, and a cop is still a strong character.

I would love to do a chick flick sometime soon, a film with strong female characters - when I say strong, I don't mean that they are changing the world, but just be real women.

It's frustrating we still don't see more movies featuring strong women.

Critics often say, 'Oh she makes films about strong women'. Wrong; I make films about complex characters and the choices they make.

I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.
