Never for one minute am I like, 'My husband, the white man, and our biracial children.' I never think about it.

I am very aware of the impact that television has on people, in changing perceptions.

There's a lot of talk about division right now in America, and I really want to unite people and go like: 'Those are my problems, too, I feel that, too."

Within the framework of something very dramatic, funny things happen. Organically, from them.

Advertisers have become scared of talking about certain issues because they don't want to upset an American family. I think it's a shame because there are things we want to talk to our kids about. So to be able to talk about LGBT issues on our shows. To be able to to talk about sex on our shows. Now if you're like, "I'm going to do an episode talking to kids about sex," on a network that's hard to do!

In America, sometimes people think all Latinos can be deported, and we can't. You know, I can't be deported.

I think people want to feel stuff right now.
