Jessica Jones is the first female superhero Marvel's ever introduced as a lead.

Because I work in television, I always knew that I loved working with writers. It's very collaborative. You're always in a room full of writers.

With 'Twilight,' you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With 'Penoza,' we had an eight episode Dutch series that, just for the pilot alone, I condensed three episodes. So, there's a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes.

The Daredevil comic book was the first comic book Marvel had ever put out that was an adult R-rated book, so I started with that. When I was creating the series, I just started with that tone, and that edge, and it just kept going.

It doesn't matter if you're the smartest person in the room: If you're not someone who people want to be around, you won't get far. Likewise for helping those in line behind you. I take seriously my role as a mentor to young female filmmakers - I make sure my time is tithed.

TV is very much my first love. I love this world. It's where writers have the most creative control, and I just love that.

Directing doesn't appeal to me. I'm much more in the world of ideas.
