When 'I' released, I gave a couple of interviews in which I expressed my interest to play an action heroine.
I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way.
Disney has proved without a shadow of a doubt that movies with a female lead work.
I would love to be a Bond girl. That is on my bucket list, definitely.
I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible.
I filmed the 'Sicario' sequel 'Soldado' with Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin. That was cool. I play the female lead. I'm the bad guy's daughter.
Being on a show with a female lead is amazing for me. I love that.
When we started out in '64, um, I was playing Number One, which was a woman second in command of a star ship.
In the next few years I'd love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her - she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.
I play a female Indiana Jones, a professor who hunts down precious objects, like a bowl that belonged to the Buddha. They tailored the role to me: I wanted to be smart, funny, and to kick some ass.
When I saw 'Baahubali' Part 1 and 2, the benchmark was really high. To match up to Ramya, who plays Sivagami in the movies, was a challenge.
If I can do a romantic comedy with women, that's Everest to me.
Certainly 'Wonder Woman' needed to be made, and I'm so beyond thrilled with how it came out. I met Patty Jenkins, and I told her, 'I'm sure you're going to make a sequel, and if you need anybody Amazonian, there's always me. I'm available.'
Sometimes I take a movie selfishly because it's a female lead.
If you go to my Netflix, the sections that they recommend are 'Thrillers with a Strong Female Lead,' 'Comedies With a Strong Female Lead.'
Oftentimes, as women and women of color, we are put as supporting characters in other people's narratives. With 'Jessica James', she is the star of her own narrative.
I think for a heroine to do comedy and action and also be glamorous is a big thing. That's why 'Supreme' will be very close to my heart.
Lately, I've been in meetings regarding a new script idea I have. A studio executive asked me to change the female lead to a male, because... 'Women don't go to movies.' Really?
Let's face it: Amanda Tapping's shoes are difficult to fill. She's a great actress and a popular character on 'Stargate'; she's just a lovely person.
I would have done it happily, but to be a Bond girl isn't everything I aim for as an actress.
Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.
I've always thought that there is a great female James Bond movie to be done. I'm not literally calling her Jane Bond, I mean, but a female secret agent.
I think the type of actor I am, I tend to play strong leading female characters. The shows I've been on happen to be science fiction genre.
Usually when I write a movie, I'm lucky if I get one good actress.
I enjoy the TV series 'Dexter,' where there's a reason for every kill. Quentin Tarantino is a favourite, and a 'Kill Bill' action-packed movie would be up my street. I'd love to be India's first scream queen!
