"The Maze Runner" star Kaya Scodelario feels every woman is powerful, damaged and a million other things, and that is what she wants to reflect in her work. The actress says she isn't interested in playing female characters that are just one thing, because they don't exist. "For me, it is important (to essay a strong character) because it is realistic. That is the world I know. Every woman I know is strong in her own way," Scodelario told IANS in an exclusive sit-down interview.

"Every woman is damaged, ferocious, powerful and a million other things. They aren't just one thing. I have never been interested in playing female characters that are just one thing, purely because they don't exist," added the actress. Since her breakout role in British teen drama "Skins", Scodelario has portrayed different women character dipped in hues of various shades of womanhood -- be it "The Maze Runner", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" or "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile".
