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

I was really inspired by the film Minority Report when he sees the projection of his wife because she's no longer there, but she's life-size and in the room with him, and that's very painful.

When I worked in an office, I was definitely using a computer that should've been long gone over a decade ago but wasn't because it wasn't broken so they weren't going to fix it.

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

The main thing I would say is: Lady Loki in the comics is a very different character to our character, obviously.

Basically, I love Loki, and I found out they were making a show about him.

I love that line, 'Lokis always survive.' That idea goes across all our characters who are Lokis.

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

Directing all six episodes was a really unique experience, right? Because normally TV is run through the showrunner system, and Marvel didn't do that on 'Loki.'

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.

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.

In terms of the themes, I love gray areas. The show is really about what makes someone truly good or what makes someone truly bad, and are we either of those things? 'Loki' is in that gray area.

I've worked at a lot of random places, which weirdly has influenced 'Loki' in some ways because we have this office culture kind of running through it. I've worked in a lot of offices.

I love villains.

The multiverse being released, we always knew that is where 'Loki's story was going to end.

The show is not so clean cut in terms of good and bad. That is the theme that runs through the show. Loki is taking down the TVA, but is it the right decision?

It was nice to see Loki grow as a character, because of the love he found within himself, to see the good points of another version of himself.

Loneliness is definitely a theme running through the show, but I think there's hope in it also. Loki and Sylvie find each other, and there's hope in that for them.

Alligator Loki, who knows what the alligator's story could be? That was always fun - the debate about whether it's a Loki, or if it's just an alligator with horns on its head. I think he is a Loki.
