I like to think that I represent myself as a strong woman, so to work with other strong women I find very inspiring.

I've been really fortunate that I've worked with a lot of strong women who are also mothers.

Strong women, that's who I really respect.

I'm used to very strong women because my mother was particularly strong, and my father was away all the time. My mother was a big part of bringing up three boys, so I was fully versed in the strength of a powerful woman, and accepted that as the status quo.

I've been lucky to work consistently on women who I think are interesting, fleshed out, and strong and active participants in their destiny.

I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women.

My mom's the strongest, boldest woman I know.

I like powerful women, and I gravitate to any point in history when a female has significant power. I can spend hours researching any such amazing lady, from Ching Shih to Hatshepsut to Boudica to Zenobia.

You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.

I think the reason why strong women have such a powerful impact is that you've got the strength of a man with the heart and sensitivity of a woman.
