I tend to lean toward female leads who have their guard up, their spikes out.

V. E. Schwab

The 'All My Children' studio was near Lincoln Center, and I used to see all the ballerinas and the dancers, and I thought, I don't want to bulk up; I want to have long, lean, toned muscles. And I found out that through Pilates, you can achieve those strong, lean dancer muscles.

Susan Lucci

I tend to write short, brief snippets - I lean toward the chamber music end as opposed to the symphony end of things.

K. A. Applegate

Cisgender people tend to want trans stories of triumph that are easy to metabolize. I want to make things that are subversive and not so entry-level.

Patti Harrison

Color is definitely an important factor for me during all phases of producing a cover. I always start out with a loose idea of what I want to see when I'm doing my initial sketches. This choice can be informed by anything, but I usually tend to lean toward more simple color schemes... something with a very obvious push between warms and cools.

Lee Bermejo

I can't imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting. I actually tend to suspect that in real life, there have always been very strong female characters, but at certain stages of society, they've been asked to cool it.

William Gibson

I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn't get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.

Bobby Berk

There are certain aspects of me that can be bad-ass sometimes, but being able to push it to the extreme is something I'd love to play. You don't get those roles, as a female, and especially as an indigenous female. There aren't those roles out there, so I want that. I want women to see a strong, sexy female without showing her body too much.

Tinsel Korey

I would like to see more female stories out there, particularly older female stories.

Marianne Elliott

Fundamentally, one of the things I tend to migrate toward when I'm working is a story about people whose stories aren't told in theater.

Thomas Kail

What I really would like to see is more female stories out there. Particularly older female stories, because women are predominantly ticket-buyers.

Marianne Elliott

As a viewer myself, I tend to gravitate toward projects that have a really strong voice of a strong creator.

Samantha Bee

I am really inspired by strong, badass, female characters. I would start with a revenge film, then ease into stories of badass everyday woman who make a difference in their own life for the better of people and environment around them. Stories of self realization.

Alicia Sixtos

When I'm looking for a strong female character, or a strong character at all, I'm looking for a character that has a purpose in that story, that has an interior life of some sort. They don't have to be physically strong; they don't have to be morally strong or ethically strong, because men and women come in a huge variety of all of those things. Emotionally, ethically - I'm less concerned with that. I just don't want them to be props. That's the only thing that offends me.
