Strong female leads make more of an impact in the U.K. than in Denmark.

Strong female leads are important.

In the U.K., journalists are a little bit more ruthless than in Denmark. I have a feeling the tabloid press in the U.K. is pretty harsh.

Audiences need to keep demanding shows with strong female leads.

Quite a lot of British women stop working when they have children, and that is rarely the case in Denmark. We have a very flat, structured way of approaching everything. Nobody's the boss. In a sense, we're all equal.

I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.
