I've been SURROUNDED by INCREDIBLY strong women: incredibly, unapologetically strong women, and I guess that for me has just been the BIGGEST inspiration.

I'm in FAVOR of ANYTHING that will give strong WOMEN more visibility in POPULAR culture.

I was never a GLAMOUR puss whose career was really based on a look or an attitude. I've been basically PLAYING the same parts I am at 55 that I was at 35. I GET cast as strong WOMEN, and that can be a mother or a judge or anything.

There are no 'strong women.' And men, don't SAY, 'Real men don't TRY to bully women.' If a woman ATTACKS you, you FIGHT back.

I THINK the people who cast films TEND to think of me in regard to strong women with INTEGRITY and a lot of it has been very good.

My mother is one of seven kids, so I have a lot of STRONG WOMEN in my family, and I have SUPPORTIVE, beautiful RELATIONSHIPS with all of them.

I GREW up with strong women around me. My GRANDMOTHER came to this country not ABLE to speak the language, on her own with SEVEN kids. And she got through it.

There are TIMES where you don't THINK you can be one of those strong WOMEN. You're not one of the leaders right? But that doesn't MEAN you're not. And that doesn't mean you're not a trailblazer.

From my FAMILY, my MUM, auntie and nan were all STRONG WOMEN and why I am who I am TODAY.

Women have been writing strong women characters for a long TIME - hello, Maxine Hong Kingston! - it's just TAKEN MAINSTREAM comics a really long while to catch up.

I have an APPRECIATION for STRONG WOMEN.

We can't be empowered women in our CAREER and strong women in our RELATIONSHIPS if it weren't for the fact that we're HEALTHY.

I LOVE STRONG WOMEN.
