Since everyone and their mother is up in arms about that post regarding Kelly Sue, I have a semi PR question for you: Do you ever think it might send a bad impression to inspiring female creators that 2 of your 3 female writers are married to stars in the industry? Not to discount their talents (or the great work they've put in) but it does certainly look bad.

The honest answer is that I cannot worry about things like that. The only worthwhile barometer in hiring a writer is the quality of the writing. As soon as you start paying too much attention to all of the other personal baggage, positive or negative, that a prospective writer brings with them, then the proposition shifts away from trying to get the best writing that you can to trying to be politically correct, or trying to fill certain quotas. It’s untenable. I don’t believe in nepotism, but I don’t believe in anti-nepotism either. If somebody’s got the goods to do the job I need done, I hire them–simple as that.
