“I think heroines would be pretty boring if they were perfect all the time.”

“There is something more powerful than any army. Something strong enough to topple kings, and even Darklings. Do you know what that thing is?”

“I think being a freelancer really taught me to hustle and gave me respect for anyone who puts it on the line every day for something creative.”

“We heroines don't get good roles.”

“I think as women we've always been very used to growing up reading and identifying with male protagonists, especially in fantasy. There's a saying in publishing that girls will read about boys, but boys will only read about boys, and it's important to give women strong heroines.”

“There is this idea that you have to play heroines or women who succeed.”
