Amy Schumer News: Actress Compares Herself To Samantha From 'Sex And The City,' 'I Feel Sexually Liberated' [VIDEO]
Amy Schumer reveals that even though she was a 'late bloomer,' she still felt sexually liberated.
Amy Schumer Opens Up About Her Upcoming Raunchy Movie 'Trainwreck'
On Wednesday, The Daily Beast shared an interview with Schumer who opened up on the movie industry and how it is finally coming to terms that there need to be more movies targeted for women.
During her interview she said that Sex and the City was a big turning point for women and entertainment because its success proved that women want more shows and movies like it.
"Sex and the City was a gigantic hit. I remember walking into the theater and it was just a mob scene. And you also have Fifty Shades of Grey. Women are more than half of the world, and the amount of male movies they have to sit through is very unfortunate for them."
Shortly after, Schumer revealed that she had her own SATC moments in college.
"I was a late bloomer sexually, compared to my friends. I lost my virginity at 18, and then sophomore year of college I kind of went through a Samantha on Sex and the City phase where I was spreading myself really thin. And then no. I feel sexually liberated and that I own my sexuality, but I don't sleep around," she said.
The actress continues saying that sex-based comedy is a huge hit with her, which explains her newest work Trainwreck.
"The funniest stories, for me, are sex-based. They're so weird, embarrassing, and humiliating. If I go up and I tell three [stand-up] stories about sex, people think, 'Oh my god, this girl always has her legs over her head,' but actually, that's over the course of years. I've not been too promiscuous over the last 10 years, but I definitely think about the time that I was, and how painful that was," Schumer said.
Tainwreck is Schumer's very first film as a lead and is set to premiere on July 17. She joins forces with Judd Apatow for the raunchy new film.
