On the inclusion of gay characters: "The cool thing about it all is that we do it effortlessly. It's all natural, you know? We don't try to, we're not like, 'Oh hey, we're putting the gay couple here' . . . it's not pandering, it's just natural for us, because we love that sh*t! It's who we are. We're advocates for the human race, no matter who you are. And I just really like that people actually acknowledge it, and take note of it from our show. And that's how it should be."
On identity as a prevalent theme: "We've dealt with struggling with identity since day one, with Scott McCall. And that relates to anybody growing up. Gay or not . . . No one's alone. You're not alone."
