That interview was really something else, appreciate you holding them to the flame. Too many executives feel like diversity somehow interferes with storytelling as opposed to adding to it. They don't understand that diverse representation opens you up to all sorts of new stories -- unfortunately they're not the stories that all-white audiences are used to. The idea that a property with a transgender person has to be "better" than one not featuring one is such a superficial trivializing of differing experiences and viewpoints, and a creatively bankrupt misunderstanding of storytelling.
Great interview. Keep up the work.
Thanks. I have more interesting stuff coming next week.

Thanks. Luckily, not every executive feels that way. Maybe not even the majority of them. But enough to have an impact.
I don't think viewers realize that it doesn't take much pressure at all to really change the cultural direction of Hollywood.
