I wanted to be an empowered woman, and I became an empowered woman. And now I want to empower every woman. And I do it through my clothes, I do it through my words, I do it through my money, I do it through everything.
I've been surrounded by incredibly strong women: incredibly, unapologetically strong women, and I guess that for me has just been the biggest inspiration.
People ask why do I write strong women characters, and basically, all the girls I know are strong; the girls I've had are strong. The women in my life are strong.
I need and want to see capable women. I don't like to see them weep all the time.
I want to go to every corner of the Earth where women are and make sure that every single woman on this planet knows that you should make the first move, it's OK to make the first move. They are equal, and they should be empowered.
Women are blessed with energy - a power which is unique. I have been very fortunate to have played strong women and explored their strengths through my films.
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.
It is really important for women to look up and see other women being successful. When I was in that position, all I wanted to do was blend in and be one of the guys.
