I think the superhero platform gives the female character, you know, a relate-ability for the male audience as well. So, I think that's why people are kinda gravitating towards female super hero characters, and also female characters in general as big parts of the film. So, that's great for us, female actors who want to do roles like that, which is really great.

I have this theory that the likeability question comes up so much more with female characters created by female authors than it does with male characters and male authors

I like shows where the female characters are as funny as the male characters, not just commenting on how funny the male characters are.

Graham Linehan

I get the feeling that characters are written female when they have to be, and all the other characters are male, and it doesn't occur to somebody that the lawyer, the best friend, the landlord, whoever, can be female.

I am certainly proud to add 'Korra' to the pantheon of TV characters, which is perpetually sorely lacking in multifaceted female characters who aren't sidekicks, subordinates or mere trophies for male characters.

There's a remarkable amount of sexism on TV. When male characters are flawed, they're interesting, deep and complex. But when female characters are flawed, they're just a mess. It's good to put more flawed but interesting female characters out there because it promotes equality.

The funniest things just come from honesty. We have a tendency to see female characters as representative of something larger than what they are, when male characters are just characters.

Elizabeth Meriwether

Often, female characters are quite one dimensional, especially in a two hour film; television gives characters room to breathe and develop.

Elizabeth Debicki

I like my male characters as much my female characters, but I always seem to have less for them to say.

John Allison

I don't see female characters as different or inferior to male characters.

Cheo Hodari Coker

Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.

Song Hye-kyo

I immediately noticed there were far more male characters than female characters in the programs, even now, in the 21st century.

I think that there are a lot of male writers and directors in Hollywood, and a lot of the female characters you do see are really one-dimensional, but I think that's changing more and more as there are more women taking control in Hollywood.

Emily Ratajkowski

It is good that in our TV industry, stories revolve around female characters more than male characters but there should be no sex war.

Himani Shivpuri

I don't try and write strong female characters or strong male characters, I just try and write, hopefully, strong characters and sometimes they happen to be female.

J. J. Abrams
