I Grew Up In A Family Of Strong Women And I Owe Any Capacity I Have To Understand Women To My Mother And Big Sister. They Taught Me To Respect Women In A Way Where I've Always Felt A Strong Emotional Connection To Women, Which Has Also Helped Me In The Way I Approach My Work As An Actor.

You Have To Question A Cinematic Culture That Preaches Artistic Expression, And Yet Would Support A Decision That Is Clearly A Product Of A Patriarchy-dominant Society, Which Tries To Control How Women Are Depicted On Screen. The Mpaa Is Okay Supporting Scenes That Portray Women In Scenarios Of Sexual Torture And Violence For Entertainment Purposes, But They Are Trying To Force Us To Look Away From A Scene That Shows A Woman In A Sexual Scenario, Which Is Both Complicit And Complex. It's Misogynistic In Nature To Try And Control A Woman's Sexual Presentation Of Self.

I'm Attracted To Films That Have Strong Female Characters Because There Are Strong Female Characters In My Life.
