I love reading scripts and offering notes and opinions. I'd like to be an advocate for the emerging filmmakers whom I'm working with.

Everybody can justify their actions. We all think that we're doing things for reasons that are meaningful to us. Maybe not to other people, but to us.

I watch the energy between the actors. That's the most thrilling and interesting thing to me about watching a movie, what the actors are doing.

When I work on a piece I always think if there is an abundance of male characters which one could we change to a woman or a minority character.

When I work with filmmakers today, I'm really an advocate for the women's roles that I see, to make them as layered and as deep as possible. I think many of them are underwritten.

Although I'm up for working in any genre, I do love the passion and dynamic storytelling that horror stories can provide. Dealing with big questions and possibilities of all sorts of stories with life and death consequences is enthralling and exhilarating to me.

Real equality in films is going to take time and will directly reflect our society. So ladies, please speak up at home, at work, at school, everywhere. As more women continue to find their place in Hollywood we have to keep pushing for more dynamic and strong women's roles.
