I would say how important it is that we stop teaching kids, from the beginning, that boys are more important than girls. It's the 21st century, you know, let's go here.

Why not just stop filling them with unconscious gender bias?

We're not trying to make a reality show at all. The show gets described sometimes as a reality show, sometimes as a prank show. I think it's neither. It's just about us, and it's just about us having a platform to be funny and do comedy, really.
The feeling that dreams show us the real nature of reality is something that's shared by many indigenous groups around the world.

I think that what's important as a director is to give your actors the feeling that they're protected, the feeling of confidence, the feeling that if they make mistakes, then as a director, you'll know how to help them.

As well as the author, you have to write scenes that give the actors the opportunity to show what they're capable of.
