In an interview with HipTV, she said:“ ’Female actresses are paid more because they have something else to offer. What exactly?

“Because I assume that your service is valued based on a number of criteria, what you bring to the table.

“In terms of skill, representation and brand. These are the things that form the decision to pay you a certain amount. Amount ‘X’ or ‘Y’,” she said.
