One theme that's been running throughout the season is Dawn's developing kleptomania. How have you tackled that in your scripts?
More than anything else, we're trying to show that Dawn is a very real teenager surrounded by people who lead very extraordinary lives. Her reaction to it is what any teenager's reaction would be when surrounded by people who have lots of other things going on in their lives.
She used to be mystical and different and now she's a normal girl, as far as we know, and she's reacting in a way that I think seems to say, "Look at me, pay attention to me."
I think that over the course of season six that's going to be developed a little bit more. I think you're going to see that side of Dawn brought out and what's going to be really key is that even when she gets discovered, if and when these little acts that she's been committing get discovered by her family, what is their reaction going to be?
What direction is Dawn going to go in? That's part of the fun of her character, and some of what we're going to see in the season.
