“I just feel like the world is our oyster. I grew up knowing that my mother is a journalist and was one of the first bureau chiefs I think ever at the New York Times.

“American television is a huge product that is exported around the world and what that means is that what our movies and films say about who women [are] has global ramifications. There is a burden and a responsibility when you are someone who is very aware of how far we've yet to travel in granting women equal rights and equal respect and you are creating cultural products. You have to be responsible and be aware of the message that you are sending out.” WorldMeanFilmResponsibilityRightsTelevisionProductsHugeEqualCreatingMessagesResponsibleBurdenAround The WorldEqual RightsBeing ResponsibleRamificationsAmerican TelevisionEqual Respect Author:Liz W.

“I'm never trying to make a statement about morality ever. If there's a statement to be made, it's "People are complicated. They do things that may hurt other people, or exploit other people, but they may do them for the right reasons, or out of desperation." I don't judge that sort of "bad" behavior. I'm only interested in a world where people break outside of the norm, and I believe people do whatever they have to do to relieve themselves of pain. I just want to watch and see how that plays out.” PeopleWorldTryingBelieveReasonPainI BelieveHurtBreakJudgingMoralityBehaviorComplicatedDesperationNorm Author:Liz W. Garcia
