“ | [Katherine in an interview] I'm a big historical-fiction fan. Anything written in the French Revolution, that kind of era, is so poignant. I got into history when I was 11 years old, and it all started with the Titanic. I'd read books in the library about it. Of course I've seen the movie, too—I don't think I've ever cried that much. |

“ | You know I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to tell Hannah's story so fully in Season 1. But I think at the end of the day, like, overall this season for everyone, we notice, that it's not really the smae Hannah that you see this season as you do in Season 1. You know, every time you see her, it's fiultered though the lens of someone else. I think recovery and healing were such an important theme, particularly Clay's journey and Clay's healing. | ” |
