We're just trying to work through the numbers. We're some place and they're another place and we're trying to work it out . . . there's a difference in both situations and we're trying to get through it.

I'm always trying to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so that they feel open participation.

We just have a lot of kids out. We're trying to work them all and give them all a chance.
