Q: Eva is one of Hell on Wheels strongest female characters. Have you been inspired by her in your real life?
A: The idea of representing women with strength still seems to be a very valid point of reference in the modern world. To see [Eva] struggling with issues like should she raise a family, should she get married or should she retain her independence, these are all still very modern issues that women face today... It's something very close to my heart.
