Excerpted from "Q&A: Rosario Dawson" in Dame Magazine
Is there a demand to see women portrayed as multi-faceted, not just victims or not just powerful?
The demand is really there to seeing different types of entertainment, and different types of positions for women, and just different types of stories. Not to say that we’re not going to play women who are bad, women who are abused, women who might be many different things. Those are real stories about real people, but we shouldn’t only feel like we can only watch prostitutes.
So where will those opportunities come from?
I want to produce more now. I need to step back a little bit and use the things that I have learned from this industry for so long, and the people that I have met and the resources that I have built. I’m hoping I can make stories happen that no one is writing that I would really like to see.
