Hello, Beastie

“It’s nice to play a role that has a positive influence. I was in Dubai a month ago at Comic Con and I met so many women who said, “Because of Peggy Carter, I know my value and that women can be heroes, too.“

“It’s funny, this whole thing of sexism, because it was more prominent in the 40s. It was more on the surface. So now looking back on it we can identify moments of misogyny or sexism. We can see them happening. Nowadays it’s a lot more subtle like, if a woman is in a high position, she finds herself being called a bitch or accused of being difficult. I think it’s much harder these days to identify moments of sexism, because they just have very sophisticated ways of hiding themselves.”

I think [Peggy]’s an amazing person. She’s better than I am, she’s better than most people I’ve met, too.

“Nude scenes can be very liberating. I feel very human. This is me, with all my little imperfections.”

It makes the whole experience poetic, describing the sights, smells and sounds around me. It means I can relive the holiday years later.”

“Women are bankable. They want to be at the forefront. They are watchable, and audiences want them, and Hollywood should want to make female-centered projects. I feel like the last 10 years of TV has created really strong and fascinating women. Women who aren’t the damsel in distress or the ingenue or the bitch or the mother-in-law. They are a lot more interesting and complex. I hope that Peggy Carter is seen in that category of leading a show, but also showing her flaws and showing much more relatable qualities.” -Hayley Atwell
