Quotes from Kate Herron

Generally, Marvel manages everything internally and keeps us all in check.

I think Marvel is really good at managing, and the thing I love about working with them is that you never feel hindered.

It's a lot for one director to do six hours, particularly in the Marvel way.

And I love genre, and I love Loki, and I love Marvel.

I love Marvel, and I was just so excited to have a chance to direct for them.

I love Loki. I love so many of the comic runs with his character as well.

Loki has been written as bi, he's also been written as pan, and it just felt like this is a show about his identity, so let's acknowledge it and make it canon.

You know, 'Jurassic Park' is a film I always go back to a lot - it's a fantastical world, but I care about all the characters in that situation, and then I think in caring about them, it can make it relatable and help me kind of see this heightened world through, not always familiar eyes, but at least eyes I can understand.

I love stories about self-love and finding your identity and your people.

The jobs I've gotten are usually the ones where I go in cold or blind in terms of what they're after and I pitch my take on it.

I think the thing that always blows my mind is that Loki hasn't had much screen time, really, in the grander scheme of things. I think it's roughly 79 minutes and I think that's so incredible that he's this really beloved character.

Miss Minutes was inspired a bit by Felix the Cat, and cartoons of that era.

I always thought of episode 1 as the prologue and episode 2 as our chapter 1 for 'Loki.'

I asked my agents, 'Can you just keep calling them and get me a seat in the room to chat to them about it?' And Marvel met me.

My dad, bless him, he was never into Marvel before, but now he's obsessed with it. When I got the job, he started watching his way through the films, and he's got all these different YouTubers that he now watches for theories, and he tries to get spoilers out of me.

I've been so swept up in the 'Loki' story.

Nothing has prepared me better for working with Marvel than playing tabletop games with my friends. It definitely taught me how to have a good poker face. You have to hide your hand - and sometimes lie.

It didn't come to pass or anything, but it would be interesting to do a 'Sex Ed' - Marvel crossover.

'Delicate.' I say it all the time when I eat food; when I'm trying to sound smart. I'm like: 'Oh, it's really delicate.' And my friends - they've caught on. They know what I'm doing. Like, 'why do you keep saying it's delicate?' I'm just trying to sound like a food critic.

Mobius is like a detective in the way that he works with Loki.

It's about Loki's journey, and he's a character that wants the throne in episode one whereas by the finale, he doesn't want that.

I've always loved the editing process.

When I started, there wasn't a discussion of Season 2, exactly. It was just that season of 'Loki.' As we got deeper into production, everyone was very happy, and obviously there's so much to explore with Loki.

Basically, I love Loki and I found out that Marvel were making a television show about him. Like everyone, I saw him die in 'Infinity War,' and I was horrified.
