Two phrases I hate in reference to female characters are 'strong' and 'feisty.' They really annoy me. It's the most condescending thing. You say that about a three-year-old. It infantilises women.
There's no need for a female character that does things like a male character; that's not what makes interesting female characters in my view.
The stronger the participation of the female characters, the better the movie. They knew that in the old days, when women stars were equally as important as men.
People ask why do I write strong women characters, and basically, all the girls I know are strong; the girls I've had are strong. The women in my life are strong.
Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.
I can achieve that by personally relating the words that I am saying to something I have known in my life.
Like most people, I'm fascinated by characters who are completely flawed personalities, riven by anguish and doubt, and are psychologically suspect.
I don't happen to have a sense of humor personally, so I don't know what's funny about a character... This happens to be a feature of my life generally.
To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.
