Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesHeather Graham's been working in the movie business for 20 years, and while she's grateful for each and every gig, she's the first to admit Tinseltown often favors the fellas.
"It's totally sexist," the 44-year-old Californication star tells Esquire. "If you look at all the movies being made these days, eighty percent of them are about men."
"It's a sexist world and a sexist industry," she says. "But I've been very lucky as an actress, to work as much as I have and as consistently as I have. And when you don't see the kind of stories out there that represent you, you have to make them yourself. I actually just wrote a script that I want to direct."
She explains to Esquire that her movie would be about "sex from a female point of view. But specifically women who like having sex."
"I don't see anything in film about women who want to have sex," she says. "I don't see myself and my friends represented. When do you ever get to see a movie from the point of view of a woman who's more interested in having really great orgasms than finding a husband? I would say almost never."
So is Ms. Graham going to make this movie happen for all the ladies? "I'm going to try," she says. "I'd like to direct it and star in it...We're actually in the process of casting it right now. So knock on wood, hopefully we're doing it this summer."
That's what he said.
