There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.

When women get great roles in life, they start to get great roles in films and TV. Look at Janet Reno, Madeleine Albright, and Mrs. Thatcher. Because those images are coming at us in life, they are reflected in acting.

Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.

There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.

I think the roles in television are better for women right now. At this point, I don't want to continue doing the same things I've been doing in film because it's very limited.

I'm glad that cinema is catching up to what television has known for a while: That three-dimensional, complex women get an audience engaged as much as the men.

Women's roles in the movies remain, for the most part, girlfriends, mothers, wives.

The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.

In television, women can really run anything. It can be a comedy, it can be a drama, it can be genre, it can be anything. But in films, women are still getting to the top.

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