“Kate Winslet gets all of the gritty roles. Understandably so—she is my idol and I just think she’s done it the right way. She is not only an amazing actress but she knows how to run her career and I respect her so much, but there’s got to be room for more women. I want more roles out there for women that have more colors and layers like men have.”

That’s exactly what I was going to say Dizzy. Beat me to it.

I was also going to say that she is sounding a lot like Jessica Biel

Do something besides romantic comedies or direct to dvd action flicks and you might get noticed.
No guarantees though. Vivica Fox did a big-budget major film and nothing happened.

(laughs) awww, Eva. You’re so cute! You really think you have a shot at being cast in amazing roles if you’re not white? You were born here, am I right? You should know better than that. It’s not like you’re a new immigrant with some Big Dreams.
