Any woman can be a siren one minute and in pigtails the next. I am a very complex person with more than just the one facet that television played on.

I try to inhabit each of the characters as fully as I can, however short-lived they are. But most of my show happens offstage.

I think there are ways in which shows can pop their heads up a little bit in the morass of everything you can watch.

My shows are not all-the-way filthy, but they can be.

But I do believe that in all my shows, I really enjoy the quirky, the eccentric characters, the ones you don't meet every day.

Everyone has their 'Showgirls.' We remember the great films actors have been in, and the rest get forgotten. But occasionally, people like to revisit the ones that get swept aside.

I love shows about creating and cooking. Sometimes they're so extraordinary, you end up setting yourself to fail.

I do find that when I see women who flesh out the television or film world and make it look more like the world I actually live in, I gravitate towards those characters.

I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women.

My goal when I make my show is to make a show for women. I don't make a show for men.
