“I've always been kind of drawn to the extremities of human nature. I wrote my first screenplay when I was 16. The initial idea was a friendship between two prostitutes, and I spent time with a vice squad guy in Cincinnati who brought me to a brothel and gave me the rundown on how street prostitution works.” FirstsHumansKindTwoIdeasGuyStreetsHuman NatureVicesInitialsProstitutionScreenplaysSquadExtremityBrothels Author:Veena Sud
“Before I write anything, before I create any assumption in my mind about what it's like to be in that world, I go out there first. I'm very drawn to darkness and light, very drawn to cop drama, because there are very few places besides war and murder and a homicide investigation where you see the extremes of human nature - the darkest crevices and cracks in what people do to one another.” PeopleWorldWritingMindFirstsHumansWarLightDarknessHuman NatureDramaMurderExtremesAssumptionCracksInvestigationCopLight And DarknessHomicideCrevice Author:Veena Sud

I'm really interested in exploring that side of human nature.” ThinkingWorldHumansSidesHuman NatureCapableHorribleHardestHeroicExploringHardest ThingIntriguedHorrible Things Author:Veena Sud
“I am endlessly fascinated by this notion that everyone has a secret. Some of our secrets are tiny, small things, and some of them are huge. Given that reality of the human condition, that's what our characters will go through. There will be some things where you'll just be like, "What the hell! How the hell did that happen?"” HumansCharacterRealityHappensGivenSecretHellConditionsHugeNotionTinyFascinatedHuman ConditionSmall Things Author:Veena Sud
