Actress Julia Stiles recently sat down to talk with Hilary Reinsberg of BuzzFeed’s new site, SHIFT about her new role in Blue, one of the series on the new Wigs channel, a new project led by directors Jon Avnet and Rodrigo Garcia, that brings scripted dramas to YouTube. When asked about the quality of roles in movies and television for women, Julia feels that there are plenty but they are always the same. She told Reinsberg: ”I don’t feel that way in terms of quantity — I think there are interesting roles for women in movies and television, but they tend to just play one thing. So they’re the mother or the daughter or the girlfriend or the wife, and the difference for me in this role was that you see the character in all aspects of her life.
