Los Angeles:
American actress Blake Lively feels Hollywood is 'sexist' and men are given better opportunities than women in the world of showbiz.
The 22-year-old actress, who shot to fame after starring in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, has a long list of actors she looks up to, but insists she doesn't envy anyone else's career, ShowbizSpy reported.
"People always ask me whose career I admire and I always answer with men. Which is not to say that there aren't incredible women in this business, but I feel like men are still given much better opportunities," Lively said.
"I feel like there are so many people I admire for so many reasons that I cant look at one person's life and say, 'I want that life.' I want to make my own history. I look at anything in life like as long as you do what you believe in, then it's going to work out. Because even if other people don't like what you're doing, you're happy because you did what you believed in," she added.
