Fun, older interview that I came across with Sasha about playing Maura Isles and why it's working for her right now.


"For Sasha Alexander, film affords more opportunities for acting risks than episodic TV. The former provides a single dose of a self-contained universe, whereas with recurring roles on the small screen, one "has to create a three-dimensional character that audiences are going to want to watch each week. You don't have a beginning, middle, and end. You may have some basic idea where the character is going and you may not." Backstories emerge sporadically, if at all, she adds: "You're leaving little crumbs for the audience. It can be frustrating." "

"I sometimes think men write women the way they want them to be rather than the way we are."

Thank god I'm a feminist.

Thanks for posting the article!

I too love the fact that the show is written by a woman and is based on a book series written by a woman. And I think she's totally right about the fact that men write women the way they want them to be. It sucks. There are definitely some people that just shouldn't be allowed to write for female characters.
