[advice to aspiring actors] Wanting it isn't enough. You have to need it, eat it, sleep it, breathe it. Acting is a brutal business. If you can do anything else, do it. If I could do anything else other than perform, I would.

Horror is the greatest genre for female actors. Horror is the only genre where we can laugh, cry, be in love, and kick ass.

I've turned down more roles than I've accepted due to exploitative scenes. Most nudity in films is exploitative. The fact is you've got some overweight middle-class guy writing in these nude scenes in lieu of a good story, hoping that a pair of tits will sell their film. And I'm pleased to tell you as a freelance film finder -- it won't. It used to. But it won't anymore.

I carefully consider the roles that I take and the movies that I make (as a director/producer) and participate in them with an awareness of the potential impact it will have on the world I live in. I don't do movies that glorify rape culture. I don't take any role that's handed to me. I take my social responsibilities very seriously. Yes, I've done horror films. BUT - they've all had a strong message - and a message that I believed in. I have turned down more roles than I've accepted for that very reason.

Just because I believe in equality for women (feminism) doesn't mean I hate men! On the contrary. I love men. Some of my favorite people are men. Feminists aren't trying to take anything away from men. We just want to play too.
