Lara Croft is such a strong individual, she's very driven, she doesn't need a man, she's speaks her own mind, and that she's in control of her own life. It's a lot of what women want and have.

I really believe action will always be there and will never disappear.

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.
