I have very strong views on TV. There's no diversity, there's no choice. Things are decided by committee.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've just always been a proponent of having a lot of diversity in the shows I've done. I just think that's the world we live in.
The corporate media is there to push the agenda of the sponsors, and many of those sponsors are weapons manufacturers. So it stands to reason that you won't get a diversity of opinions on television.
Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.
There's room for a diversity of ages on television.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a strong advocate for diversity across all dimensions.
I think that every time you bring a subject into the mainstream landscape of television, it can have a huge impact. Television is such an influential medium.
The only way we are going to get diversity is if the demographics of the decision-makers change... The odd-token bone thrown is not going to do it. Don't pat yourself on the back because you made that black drama; that's not diversity. It's got to be baked into the foundation of where the ideas flow from.
I'm a fierce advocate for diversity. Always have been, always will be.
I think diversity is something that should be celebrated because it's who we are as a world, and little kids need to be able to turn on the TV and see real-world representations of themselves. It's very important.
We're a diverse society, and I think the TV is doing a great job in showing that we're all human beings, that we can all get along, that we can all be together, and I think that's a marvelous thing.
