If you read reviews that you think by their very nature are not respectful of the actresses involved or not appreciating the work as it should be, I think you should write to reviewers or comment and say, "Are you kidding me?"

Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.

I have always been interested in gender politics, so I'm not that keen on doing things that don't represent a truth about women.

I'd actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can't be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could.

I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.

Women don't question themselves when they enter into a story that has male characters, but men do question the validity of a female narrative.

I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.
