I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.

I'm surrounded by all these strong women - my publicist, my manager, and my wife - and sometimes I think that women are more evolved than men, and they are able to process a heartache better.

I want to empower women.

I've always tried to be conscious of how I represent women in my work. They don't have to be good or strong women, but they have to be complex.

I'm strong. I'm outspoken. I feel like I'm equal to men. I can walk in the woods just as much and as far as a man can. Yet I'm still female. I'm very female.

I'm an independent woman and a feminist.

Like many traditional feminists, I became one of the boys, only better. For a while it gave me a buzz to win at their game, but ultimately, that kind of power just goes nowhere. Traditional feminism excludes men and so perpetuates conflict. I am not interested in warring about power.

I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power, entitled to leadership.

The more powerful you become, some people especially don't like it that you're a woman. I stick up for myself.

So much of what I do is about inspiring and empowering women.
