Price on the dynamics of the female relationships:

"You have such a bond and such an intimacy with female friendships, but there is that thing where women seem to feel so competitive and generally someone else can’t be successful if - or you can’t be successful if someone else is more successful or they’re gaining their success. With Kim, Brooke and I, we all come from a similar place that we’ve been working in the professional world since we were kids. I think the average age someone was saying was maybe three when we all started. And there’s just a basic level of respect where we come from a similar professional standpoint. But once you commit to a set that has that sort of respect and care for one another, it’s the warmest place to be."

Kim Raver on her character Nico as compared to Audrey Raines on 24:

"I think they’re similar in the sense that they’re very good at their jobs, very smart, very competitive, very sort of striving for the best job that they can do. I think Audrey was much more vulnerable. Nico is much - kind of coarser. I think Nico is much more unedited. You know, Audrey worked in Washington. She was all about sort of talking around things in a very political way. Nico is about saying it like it is, and a little too loud sometimes. But yet, I think both were very complex and both striving to be loved. You know, really kind of missing that in their lives."

Lindsay Price on the fashion elements of Lipstick Jungle:

"I think that we’re incredibly fortunate because of the anticipation of our show being such a fashion-heavy program. We are - we have access to the most amazing designers and we’re able to really have the luxury of creating these characters with nice resources. But I don’t think that anyone was interested in letting it be a fashion show or letting the clothes take over the scene in any way. We wanted to make sure that these women were dressed like they would be in their professions and in a world where they have the means to make their own fashion dreams come true. And Victory is a designer and maybe most designers don’t go to work everyday wearing a dress and four inch heels. I mean, there is definitely the fantasy element. And - but they are just impeccably dressed women with, I think, more style than fashion on their mind."

McCarthy on the realism of the relationship between Joe and Victory:

"Well, I think for Joe’s part, I know he’s certainly taken by surprise about the element of care that develops. And there’s a difference between care and concern. I think care is sort of loving. Concern can be debilitating, you know. And I think Joe’s certainly sort of present enough and a good enough businessman to know to nurture someone and then let them be them, to do their best work. And I think he sort of approaches his relationships that way, too - to sort of nurture who they are and let them be - let her be who she is. And if that’s going to work, that will work. But to try and sort of manipulate it and control people... disaster."

McCarthy on how he'd spend his money if he were as wealthy as his character and where Joe's money comes from:

"Well, I’d certainly have the plane and the cars. Yeah, I think he has a nice lean style of living for someone who has access to anything he wants whenever he wants it... I’m one of those people where my money makes money. I think he’s like - works a lot in the stocks and real estate, and hedge funding."

Price on whether Victory transitions from having career problems to facing guy troubles:

"Well, it does switch around but that’s the thing with life. You know, sometimes one area of your life is going smashingly well and then something else kind of takes a backseat, or maybe just circumstantially it’s not as great. But with any relationship, it has its twists and turns. And Joe and Victory are great for each other in so many ways, but they certainly have their obstacles to overcome."

Raver on the appeal of the female characters in the show:

"I think that’s actually what’s interesting about these women. On the surface they can sort of seem like everything is going great and they’re doing really well and - but yet they’re flawed and vulnerable, and complex. And I think that that’s definitely an asset to our show - that these women are going through things and working through them, and working through them together. And hopefully, that’s the journey that people will tune into. And that’s, I think, also what makes them accessible is their complexities."
