"I hope a lot of them can break through by being good, but my fear is that nobody is going to tell them to be good."
"I think the caricature we had about Travis Kecle was a bit old, like the one who had his TV show, you've got to fight for your right to party, he presents as this fun guy."
"We're just trying to ask you to work within the parameters of your employment in the same way every other person on the planet is expected to do."
"We'd all be better off acting like it didn't happen."
"We have not reached a point where you can hear something about a man dealing with another man and we're just like, 'OK, now let's discuss what has happened.'"
"When you do First Take with Stephen A, he understands we’re on the same team"
