I get inspired by creativity, when people are together. You know what I mean, there's a certain synergy when people work together.

I think that becoming a parent absolutely changes your entire life and certainly changes your work, and it has changed mine. It just allows you to have access to your emotions, even more than you already did. You're watching this little person grow in front of you, and you realize that you're seeing how precious life is and how quickly it goes. You get to things faster, even emotionally. I'm not as timid about reaching into some areas in myself and bringing that to my work.

I believe life takes us where we need to be.

I just think that we have more opportunity to have a bit more of that banter between each other. And, given that the two women are so different, there's really something to play with.

My parents wanted me to go to law school.

I prefer film and that's what I think I'm gonna put my focus on.

One of the things that did intrigue me about when I read the pilot - because I had not read the books before doing the show - was the mystery aspect of it. I didn't feel that it was just a crime-based story. It really does have that mystery element, and it felt like a throwback to other shows in the past that had a bit more of that. There was something iconic about it. The fact that it's set in Boston gave it a feeling that was different to me. So, I am definitely more of a fan of mysteries than I am of a circular crime-based genre.
