There are not many roles where women are really active.

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 gravitate towards roles where women find strength in very difficult, uncompromising situations but maintain clarity in mind, discipline at heart, and a certain strength in spirit.

A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined not be done.

When men hold the greater majority of all professional positions of power, it is impossible for a woman to advance her career without the support of men.

I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.

In 'The Force Awakens,' women as well as men are in positions of authority. And you don't have to work hard to do that - it's not a statement, it's the world.

It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women.

Strong women only marry weak men.

I'm attracted to strong female roles: females that aren't necessarily defined by their relationships with men.
