In everything I do, I like to set the idea for girls that they can do anything. I was really moved by Hillary Clinton's speech when she lost the election - she didn't want young girls to feel like it wasn't possible and wanted them to know a female president will eventually happen. That's important.

There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.

There are so many successful women working in intelligence, but it's still seen as a male-dominated world.

When I was working on 'Homeland,' there was a consultant who helped me a lot... I went to Washington and met with my consultant there, and he actually organised a lunch with several people from the Intelligence Committee.

Very few parents give out healthy lunchboxes due to pressure from their children.

I think the older you get, the more you realize how important life is, the more you think about your family.

Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing I've ever done - by far.

My greatest success story has been my family.
