All the roles are for boys. The girls' roles are either small or all the same. There's just nothing interesting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a lot of good roles for men, always, and for very young girls. But for women, not so many.
It's fun being one of the boys. It's fun to have a character that's rough and gets down and dirty and not to be this precious girl who just sits in the corner and just sort of stands by the action.
If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.
Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies.
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.
There's such an array of brilliant roles for young women. You read all these amazing young women going through different stages in their life - different stages, different fascinations, different textualities, different friendships.
There seems to be great roles for women, and it's not necessarily - you don't have to be young women. Suddenly, we're realizing that, generally, women are interesting, and they can also be weird and crazy and mean.
Playing girls is cool, but its a lot more fun playing boys.
I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women. You can see that clearly with things like 'The Hunger Games.'
There are so many female roles - particularly for young women - that are just somebody's girlfriend or somebody's daughter, or that are accessories to the main story rather than being three-dimensional characters.
