"I feel it most in my work, because there aren't roles about women who are spiritually evolving. That anyone would even write something like that, something that's worth doing, would be a miracle!"
- Olympia Dukakis
About this Quote
Olympia Dukakis is sharing her frustration with the absence of functions for ladies in the show business that focus on spiritual growth. She thinks that it is a wonder when a script is written that includes a women personality who is on a spiritual trip. She feels this lack of depiction in her work, as she is seldom provided the possibility to contribute that is significant and also inspiring. She is asking for even more manuscripts that include women characters who are developing emotionally, as she thinks this is an integral part of the female experience. She is also asking for more recognition of the importance of spiritual development in the entertainment industry.
