LOST - RODRIGUEZ: 'WATCH OUT, GUYS'

LOST actress MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ will only accept roles which accurately portray women as strong and independent. The 27-year-old, who claims she thoroughly enjoyed her four-day jail sentence for drink driving last month (APR06), insists women are getting tougher after years of suppression. Rodriguez says, "Chicks today are getting harder. I think women today are filled with a little Amazon warrior energy, kind of like a strange little hint of anger, just for being suppressed for so many years. "My family taught me about ethics and the importance of respecting everybody. I'm not aggressive, but if someone is disrespectful to me, we have a problem. "It's that whole 'woman hear me roar' factor."
