Kit Connor, on feeling nervous in the spotlight:
“I’m still awful at it. It still gives me anxiety. It still scares me. I think it always will. Sometimes you meet these people that you respect and admire massively, and it’s impossible not to have imposter syndrome. I hope this thing that I said, that probably no one even cares about, didn’t upset this person or didn’t make this person think that I was stupid.”
Kit Connor, on the show’s importance and how it’s setting a positive example for navigating identity:
“There were definitely points where I was doing season 2 and saying certain lines, and thought, ‘This is good, this is how it should be.’ This is the message that we want to be sending. The show that we’re doing is really setting blueprints for people to know how to treat these delicate situations, and how to make people feel safe and comfortable.”
Joe Locke, on being proud of Kit Connor and the importance of privacy:
“We were all very proud of him, and we’re proud of him controlling the narrative… I’m very proud of him for doing his own thing and doing what was right for him. There’s an idea that it’s part of the job that you lose your privacy, and you lose your right to having privacy. That’s something that I hope that the next generation of people in the public eye can change… I think that people are understanding that privacy is a non-negotiable.”
