It’s very difficult to put together an independent movie and a lot of times people really don’t hire casting directors for that. Instead, they look for people that they’ve seen in other movies or they’re friends with.

I feel like Travis [Stevens] is just a Midas touch producer. Seemingly everything he touches turns to gold lately, so that was quite exciting looking at that prospect.

There was a period in my late 30s where work slowed down for me, as it does for a lot of women. You’re no longer the young, cute thing anymore and maybe you’re not quite old enough to play (what others think of) in terms of women in charge.

Superhero roles seem to be popular. I’d like to see more female superheroes. How about a grandmother superhero? I’d pay good money to see that.

Real equality in films is going to take time and will directly reflect our society. So ladies, please speak up at home, at work, at school, everywhere. As more women continue to find their place in Hollywood we have to keep pushing for more dynamic and strong women’s roles.

I love reading scripts and offering notes and opinions. I’d like to be an advocate for the emerging filmmakers whom I’m working with.

Everybody can justify their actions. We all think that we’re doing things for reasons that are meaningful to us. Maybe not to other people, but to us.

I do feel, like everyone, there’s not enough female directors out there, there’s not enough female producers, and would like to see more people get more opportunity, more opportunity for roles for women.

Although I’m up for working in any genre, I do love the passion and dynamic storytelling that horror stories can provide. Dealing with big questions and possibilities of all sorts of stories with life and death consequences is enthralling and exhilarating to me.

We’re evolving as a culture as well and as more equality gets supplanted in society, well, in the U.S. anyway, it’s only helping women. We do have much more work to do though, in spreading awareness about where we fall short in our culture and in other cultures.

As I’ve matured, the roles are a bit more layered and representative of where I am today as an older person with more responsibilities, perspective and hopefully not too many regrets.

I don’t think we’re the screaming femme fatale running away from danger as much as we used to be. I think people are seeing us as much more multi-layered personalities with desires, and wants, and needs as much as any male figure out there.

I guess in society there’s no place for women in their older thirties. We’re supposed to go sit on a shelf at some point… and wait.

When I was a young actress, I was called in just to do my part, and I didn’t have any say or weight as far as any decisions go. But today, having worked as a producer and also having lived a little, I feel like I’ve found my voice more. I’m sure that it has influenced me as an actor and it will continue to do so.

When you’re working with friends, I think there’s a certain sensibility that you share, and it’s easy to coordinate your ideas and work together to bring them in a cohesive way.
