As women, I think it helps that we are complex creatures by nature so just being a woman helps to understand a woman's journey.

I don't think you can be successful in television without appealing to women. I don't think it's possible. I think that men like women. It doesn't really matter what they do - they love anything. But women don't necessarily like every woman, so I think that's a challenge to get the female audience to not only relate to you but also like you.

I love shooting guns. Not at people or animals, but I love shooting blanks!

Here's my goal: I want to make a seriously dark show, and not on a network that has ever done that.

I was basically a broke student, and I moved to Asia and was making some money to go back to school. One thing led to another, and I was supposed to stay two months, but it ended up being eight years. It was the best mistake I ever made.
