“Well I would say that, you know, I agree in part with that it [The Starter Wife] is fantasy and it is a romp in that, you know, the comedy stems from shining a light on the sort of more extreme aspects of the Hollywood culture. So, you know, anytime you turn up the gas, so to speak, on the stove and make things more extreme it becomes funny. But I do think that, you know, the other half of the show is absolutely relatable and that's been an important goal of ours.” ThinkingKnowsWellsImportantShowsLightTurnsCultureSpeakGoalHalfFantasyComedyAspectHollywoodAgreeShiningExtremesGasStemRelatableOther HalfStoves Author:Debra Messing

“It's a fact, the majority of films in Hollywood are from the male perspective. And the female characters, very rarely do they get to speak to another female character in a movie, and when they do it's usually about a guy, not anything else. So they're very male-centric, Hollywood films, in general. So I think it's incredible that Ned Benson, when I said I'd love to know where she goes, says okay, I'm going to write another film from the female perspective.” ThinkingKnowsWritingSaidCharacterFactsFilmGuySpeakPerspectiveFemaleOkayHollywoodMajorityMalesIncrediblesFemale CharactersHollywood Films Author:Jessica Chastain
