  • Quotes
    [on Theodora Crain] This is a woman who, at 9-years-old, experienced the trauma of her life and has pushed down her ability to feel things so entirely that she has created a almost superpower. Or she has held hands with a ghost and got a superpower? Could be both, who knows? In this moment, [Theo] is not only expressing what she is feeling off of that couch. She also, in the episode, has just left her sister's dead body. And her sister who, she hasn't spoken to her since they had this huge fight where she begged for help. She didn't help her then and all of these thing are happening...What I wanted to bring to it was those moments in your life where it's just a wave and these boundaries you set up for yourself between experiences just disappear and the weight of what it's like to be a human becomes too much."
