On rumors of Desperate Housewives co-stars not getting along: “We had a great sisterhood on Desperate Housewives. But that’s not what people wanted to talk about most of the time. During Desperate Housewives, there was no social media. Whereas today Reese [Witherspoon] and Nicole [Kidman] have their own platforms, so you can tell they are very close friends. We didn’t have our own channels to debunk rumours, so people didn’t get the inside view on how close we all were.”

On how’s she championing other women: ““When you are producing or directing, you go through the door and you’ve got to leave it open for other women. Anytime you’re in a position of power or leadership, you have to lead by example and hire women in non-traditional roles. Those traditional male jobs such as cinematographer or stunt coordinator or editor [don’t go to women] not because they are not talented, but because they need to get a foothold. We don’t give women the experience they need to get hired in the first place.”

On her marriage to Jose Baston: “It’s respect. We have so much respect for each other, and we support each other’s goals and dreams. When I was younger it was so much about what I needed to accomplish, and I’ve accomplished so much already that I can really sit back now and enjoy the success and continue to dream bigger with a partner.”
