I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.

I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.

I like my male characters as much my female characters, but I always seem to have less for them to say.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.

Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.

I guess the characters I play may be at the more destructive edge of the spectrum, more damaged or whatever, but I find a lot of female roles uninteresting.

When I'm watching TV, I'm always drawn to those female characters who are doing something that I would want to do.

I've always had difficulties with female characters.

A lot of the characters I end up playing have a certain degree of glamour or sexiness, but I like it when you can have some other element that makes it much more interesting.

I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.
