"Doing this job is like studying for an exam that you are never prepped for. The workload never ever goes away. I’ve got literally hundreds of scripts, any time of a given month or week."

"Engage with other women, both younger and older, and stand firm against any negativity. I wish someone had shared this wisdom with me."

"Equality and diversity require collective attention and commitment. Those with industry experience should focus on creating opportunities for diverse talent."

"If I can deliver a strong script, compelling characters, and ensure they are well taken care of during their time with us, everything will fall into place."

"“Tell the truth, even if that truth is sometimes unpalatable.”"

"How do you get your boss to like you? It’s now developed into something more, because it’s earned the right to do that. So I’m really looking forward to the audience getting to see storylines that are opening up more."

"I think really what we look for are good stories, well told, with something to say. We tend to really lean into strong female characters, and we look for something that has a moral center, even if sometimes that moral center looks like a cold, dark heart."

"I think it’s gut instinct, really. Sometimes, in something like Industry, that was inspired by wanting to look in that world."

"There are lots of things in life that happen that we need to address, and we shouldn’t shy away and just think, ‘Okay, well, that’s a bit tough’ or ‘That’s a bit that is very out there,’ but actually it’s all based on stuff that actually happens."
