Michelle Rodriguez admires strong women.
The Latin actress - who plays cynical ex-cop Ana-Lucia in hit TV series 'Lost' - says she loves playing her character because she is independent and tough, and insists those are the sort of women who have been her role models.
She said: "I like strong women. Ana-Lucia stands on her own two feet and she has conviction. I admire a person with their own voice and opinions."
The 28-year-old actress - who shot to fame as fearless woman boxer Diana Guzman in the movie 'Girlfight' - also claims she is a free spirit.
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: "I'm very free-spirited. I'm not good at doing as I'm told. I could never be part of the military or anything where I was ordered around."
