For me, it was definitely an education in being grateful. And appreciating the civil liberties we have today, the natural liberties we have at home.

I was too young to live on campus. I just went back and forth on the bus. Eventually I got my own car and thought I was Mr. Man, so I started hot wheelin' it.

Even though the topic [of slavery] itself is the big, screaming elephant in the room, we still get a chance to have fun and enjoy what is on the screen, and we have moments where we're actually happy.

I want to give people jobs and put them on great shows. I want to create careers for people.

Some of my job consists of me drafting and making technical drawings. So everything I did back then has materialized into something substantial for me today. Whatever kids are into, that might be their thing.

I don't believe in breaks. Not yet. I'm too young. I'll find the next job to keep me busy between seasons.

The introduction of Harriet Tubman is going to be very exciting, she's a real life superhero so for us to be able to feature her this season is groundbreaking for a television series.
