What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.
Unfortunately 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that yes have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.
Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.

If I have to produce movies direct movies whatever to change the way Hollywood treats older women I'll do it. If I have to bend the rules I will. If I have to break them I will.
I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters so I've just grown up with that model.
For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
Even today in our progressive times in most movies that come out the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.
It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married stay married fall in love how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.
I don't know many women who can relate to Sharon Stone and the kind of movies she does. I don't know a lot of guys who can relate to Tom Cruise's movies because they're on a kind of fantastic level.
