"I think the reason actresses are taking a backseat to actors is that
they're putting the wrong women on screen. They seem to put a new
fashion model in a starring role every year. And being simply pretty
isn't enough. It's boring. Using models in place of actresses implies
that women have nothing to contribute to the screen. Acting is a
profession and a special talent is involved. Films have moved away from
pretty boys to actors with interesting faces. It's time they did the
same thing with actresses."
