I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

I wanted Bow's hair and makeup and clothing to look like a woman who has four children, a career, and a full life. For example, she won't wear eyeshadow unless she's going out. Because it takes a lot of time to put eyeshadow on. She's a woman who has style, but it's all about functionality - she grabs stuff from her closet.

Nothing goes to windward like a 747.

I think television is doing a better job than films in terms of representing people, but television is still not diverse.

Sometimes I feel like art is supposed to mirror life, but strangely it's as if art is trying to catch up to life, to a certain extent?

The two things that I thought were really interesting about this character [Bow] for me were that she actually loved her husband, and he loved her. The comedy was not coming from the fact that they hated each other. Which is what television couples are usually based on.

In some of the darkest and hardest moments, there is always a part of me that is okay. And I can always access that part of me.
