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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.
You're allowed to make things for women on television, and there's not like... you don't have to go through the humiliation of having made something directed at women. There it's just accepted, whereas if it's a feature, it's like 'So, talk to me about chick flicks.' It's like... I don't think you want to hear my opinion about this.

There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
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.
Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
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.
The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
The cool thing is that, unlike film, the theatre roles for women get better and better as you get older.
