The quality of films out there depends on how much responsibility we're willing to take. I try to play women who are positive and heroic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
I think the roles in television are better for women right now. At this point, I don't want to continue doing the same things I've been doing in film because it's very limited.
I'm sure it's more difficult for women to make movies, especially because, in general, the kind of movies women want to make aren't necessarily going to be blockbusters. But you know, there are so few women in so many positions of power.
I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.
Every time there's a really good story, there's women in it. We may not get as many roles, but the roles we get are really good, I think, for the most part.
But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.
There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
I think the people who cast films tend to think of me in regard to strong women with integrity and a lot of it has been very good.
Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies.
I have a hard time watching films and not thinking how I would play any part, whether it's a man or a woman.
