Joss Whedon is a hero of mine, and what he's done for women in film and television, particularly when it comes to writing female roles that would typically go to a man, is awesome.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, Joss Whedon is a god. I'm just a huge fan of his work; I love his work on TV.
You know, comics and movies, even if you take a comic and turn it into a movie, we can't all be Joss Whedon.
Joss Whedon who created 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer,' 'Angel,' and all that... he is a genius.
I think often times on Joss Whedon's shows he can make you hate a character for a period and then love the character. He does it effortlessly.
Some of the writers I've praised are Sara Paretsky, Val McDermid, Elisabeth George and Minette Walters. Strangely enough, almost all are women.
I so find Harold Pinter and David Mamet's writing to be exciting, and obviously there aren't that many female - at least with Mamet, there aren't that many good female roles. But I always thought it would be interesting to play one of the guy roles.
Tennessee Williams is an incredible writer for women because, in many ways, his women characters are him. He writes so passionately.
I think male roles are generally much better written. So for actresses, we're always dealing with trying to inject a role with more truth than the writer possibly had in mind.
I love the powerful woman who's complicated. There's no push to be one thing or another thing. It's all human. That's what you look for as an actor: characters written and portrayed in the most human way possible.
There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.
