I'm always really comfortable writing strong, smart ladies. That's kind of my bailiwick.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.
I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.
I like writing flawed women, and being one, it's something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority.
My female writers have always been my backbone. I had a writing room of six women for five years so I know what women do. Cultivated by me, by the way!
When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?'
The imaginative leap for me of writing for women is no more difficult than the one of writing for men. I've always wanted to have women well represented in the work that I've done because I've always been around them and around the way they look at the world.
I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.
I think I write in a fairly self-confident manner.
I like writing idealistically, romantically and swashbucklingly.
If there's ever a woman who's smart, funny, or witty, people are afraid of that, so they don't write that. They only write parts for women where they let everything be steamrolled over them, where they let people wipe their feet all over them.
