I think that's what we always want to say, and spread it out, so have tolerance for other people who are different also.” quote by Lauren Shuler Donner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dff/lauren-shuler-donner-11057_being-yourself_what-we-always-want-to-say-in-x-men-is-i_261591.jpg)
![“I think a reason why TV is exciting and getting so much better is because we [authors] get to play off of an actor's strengths and challenge them on their weaknesses.
