Karan Mahajan Quotes

I tend to see my characters from inside and outside at once; this is a technique I use to retain a slight distance. It means my characters can act in unexpected ways on two axes: physical and mental.

Special operations are small, highly specialized. They do amazing work when they're put into the fight, but it's a limited resource.

In the first two episodes, before she becomes Queen, I could be a lot freer with my emotions, but as the series goes on, she develops an armour in order to cope with her circumstances.
