Just because we are women doesn't mean the only roles we can play are that of the finger-shaking girlfriend.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women. You can see that clearly with things like 'The Hunger Games.'
You know, right now, they say - I don't know who says this, but somebody told me - there's three male roles to every female role. And I guess I'd work on evening that up. Making great roles for women. It's just such a huge challenge.
It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women.
Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.

You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.
So many roles for women demand that you make the audience fall in love with you or sympathise with you.
I'm attracted to strong female roles: females that aren't necessarily defined by their relationships with men.
I was certainly never conscious of 'playing the woman.' I would not have approved of that. It is not a winning tactic. I operated in the world as I found it, and it was a man's world.
There's a lot of good roles for men, always, and for very young girls. But for women, not so many.
