I like diversity; I want one character to be very different from the next. I love to live with a character for a long time if I can, but I like one character to be different from the next.

People are drawn to watching things that are dramatic. And the tighter a relationship is, the more dramatic it can be. That's something family lends itself to. Everybody has family, somewhere, somehow. Those relationships are always very complex. This takes it to almost Greek-tragedy-level heights. That's fun to watch, although it's very uncomfortable. It explores the darkest sense of family.

Yes, I'm very close to my family. And being that close to your family, I think you also struggle with how to become your own person.

Just because someone isn't working at an office doesn't mean they're not working hard at something.

Regardless of how you feel about war and peace those serving military are doing a duty for the rest of us and they're protecting a way of life that they sometimes come back to and it's not close to them.

I think I'm going to spend some time learning how to be a first-time mom, and then I'll go back to work.

I'm trying not to put pressure on myself to decide what to do at this moment, and just sort of go with what's happening.
