I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

I am prone to get carried away thinking about creative projects.

And so, in terms of setting the right tone and finding a way of presenting all of these things, that creates a cohesive whole and doesn't alienate the audience, is tough. That's a challenge. And I think the tone of a lot of shows is discovered through experimentation and actually making it. Eventually, it starts to cohere.

My rule of thumb is that I want to do things I'd like to go and see myself.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

When you're working on something where there's usually one sex scene in the film, it all gets a little bit of a gray area and people get a bit uncomfortable and awkward. You just get through it. But, it became very clear on this that that can't happen. There can't be any gray areas on this because there are actors and actresses coming in for a day or a couple of days, as well as people who are there regularly.
