The Glenn Close model makes the most sense — a hard-assed, hard-nosed leader for a male-oriented group. It used to be that if a woman played a tough leader role, it was seen that she was not a woman, but asexual or gay.

He's hard-nosed, ... He's great with his players, too. A lot of the things that I do come from him. If you've got a guy who can shoot, you bring him off screens. And if you've got a guy who can dribble, you do the pick and roll.

I'm hooked on Glenn Close in 'Damages.'

There's only so much you can do with the material you're given, ... A lot of films are very male-oriented, but this is a male-dominated industry. Let's not lie. I don't care what character I play as long as it's an honest exploration.

You can become the leader of any group people

They are tough, they get after you. They have quick hands and are hard-nosed. They drive so much and draw fouls. I am impressed with them. They have the toughness to compete in the Big East. They are tough guys.
