I started writing it, because it was seven years ago. But yes, that is the genesis of why I started writing.
I started writing In Darkness out of a frustration of the quality of roles that I was reading in scripts for women.
I started writing it six and a half years ago, so the landscape has changed a lot in that time.
I think the beauty of the writing of 'Game of Thrones' is not that the characters are fearless; it's how they overcome their fear, you know?
