“Deep down I have this atavistic feeling that really I should be in the country.”

“There's a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history.”

“The dialogue around climate change can often become mired in gloom and doom, which is understandable given the topic.”

“I can't really change for a climate. I've got to be Theophilus London in any weather.”

“The social and political climate came from discussions about how we could find conflict in the wake of a 100-year-long war ending. But as we know in the real world, just because a war ends it doesn't mean that everything turns happy and peaceful. That provided us with some new kinds of conflict for us to explore in 'Korra.'”
