I think that I do separate myself a fair amount. And I don’t feel like I am representing women. That’s up to however people interpret it once they sort of see it.
Meaning of the quote
Joan Allen, a famous American actress, is saying that she doesn't think of herself as representing all women. She feels like she is a unique individual, and how people see her is up to them, not something she tries to control. She doesn't want to be seen as a spokesperson for all women, but rather as her own person.
