“In the sense that [we’re showing] this is how people treat each other, this is how people respect each other, sexualisation isn’t happening on our television show. In terms of what’s happening in Hollywood, that is not how our television show is run, and that comes from the top down.”
“As all of this mess is being sorted out, we can look at each other and say, ‘Not on our show’. And I think because we all love and respect each other, it’s coming through in the product.”
