“Portraying this character [Diwata] has really given me an opportunity to get in touch with that side of myself, which I haven't been for a few years. And I do know what it's like to be different from people around you and not fit into the prototypical mold of what America sort of thinks a girl "should be."” PeopleThinkingKnowsShouldYearsDifferentCharacterAmericaGirlOpportunityGivenSidesHavensFitMoldPortraying Author:Sarah Steele
“I think that Diwata does not fit that mold. She's loud, she's a huge personality, she's imposing. I don't know if I'm the same thing in that sense, but what gives me the joy in playing her is the total rejection of needing to fit in. It's so inspiring.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingDoeJoyHugePersonalityFitGive MeLoudRejectionMoldImposing Author:Sarah Steele

“What makes me happy about the show, and what I hope people take away from it is: "Just be yourself."
