There's definitely stories I would like to tell; I'd like to see more films focusing on women's lives.

With a male-centric show, the women are usually very two-dimensional.

Fandom is amazing.

The 'Outlander' fans are super-passionate.

How do people move on after they've lost the love of their life? It's a really interesting thing to look at. It happens to people every day: you see people... even in the worst, most war-torn places, people get up and continue with their lives. And it's a fascinating thing about human nature. That ability to just continue on.

So often, women are there just to be looked at and be objectified for the titillation of the male audience.

I think women today are really struggling with these dual roles: How do you have a full-time career and be ambitious and still take care of your family?

When I was a kid, I loved 'Little Women.'

I'm just so glad that I started acting when I did because I had this wealth of life experience. I don't know if I'd have been able to handle it had I gone out to L.A. at 22.

The idea was always to be an actor.
