When You're Shooting A Network Television Show

I Was A Weird Tomboy Most Of My Life. I Didn't See The Power In My Own Female Form For Quite A Long Time. Maybe That's A Good Thing.

I'm Also 31 Years Old. It's Not Like I'm Some Kid Who Can Be Slapped Across The Newspaper Pages Like Some Harlot.

I've Played A Different Type Of Character In A Different Type Of Thing, For The Most Part. It's Not Like You Can't Mine Tons Of Fascinating Stuff From Any Character That You Play, And I've Always Been Fascinated With Women And Relationships, But This Has Been A Completely Different Experience, For Sure.

It's A Different Thing With Cable Tv. You Don't Have To Have Your Characters Be Lovely Again By The End Of The Episode. And In This Era Of The Male Antiheroes On Cable Tv, You Don't Even Need To Make Them Likable; You Just Need To Make Them Compelling. As Opposed To Film, Where It's Still Those Basic Tropes Of Good Versus Evil. But For Women, I Don't Think That Has Been Widely Seen Yet.

I've Been A Feminist Since The Day I Was Born. I Wanted To Play Football. I Didn't Want To Play With Dolls; I Wanted To Play With Boys And Didn't Understand Why I Couldn't.
