Yes, I certainly look for strong characters - whether that means they're strong in their vulnerability or strong in the way they might be attractive to lots of blokes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes people are like, 'Do you want to play strong women?' I don't have to play strong women in order to feel like a strong woman myself, but I do feel it's important to play characters that are complex and interesting and believable.
Every once in awhile I like to play dark ladies, crazy ladies, but most often I look for characters that are strong, intelligent, caring - usually earth women, because that's basically how I see myself.
I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.
I do think that the strongest character is somebody that you can connect with to your personal self, or at least find the humanity in both of you and start from there.
I like strong women. I think a lot of women relate to strong characters, and a cop is still a strong character.
I don't like the word 'strong,' because a strong character is never an interesting character. A character is made interesting by their vulnerabilities and their weaknesses.
My character is somebody who is smaller in stature and yet who's strong, so to see the fighting situations between people who are not generally thought of being strong is in itself unusual and therefore interesting, I think.
It's very easy to approach a character like that - a so-called strong woman who overcomes the odds - and give a one-note performance, playing that strength alone. Strength is only one thing a person has.
I like to play a strong woman, but a strong woman can also be very fragile and vulnerable at the same time.
I'm drawn to female characters; not all of them are strong characters.
