I was raised by women. Now I'm raising women. I was always better around girls. I live in an all-female household. I even have two female dogs... It's funny how that turned out.

I was raised by two women, and that laid the groundwork for the way I treat 'em: with the utmost respect and admiration.

I'm determined to raise a strong girl.

My mother was a very difficult woman to please. She was the sort of woman who thought that if I were praised I would get above myself.

I was always just so feminine. I don't think anyone who ever met me would describe me as a man.

We were unusually brought up; there was no gender differentiation. I was never thought of as any less than my brother.

You know, my mum's always encouraged me and never made my gender an issue, I guess. She brought me up to believe in equality, as opposed to feminism or sexism - so it just meant that my gender was not relevant to what I was capable of achieving.

I was raised by a hardcore feminist.

I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.
