Character Quote by Quinta Brunson
“I think that we're all complex characters, and we have to forgive ourselves. We have to own our own humanity by not regretting everything we do, unless we have been extremely harmful to someone or hurtful to someone or done something violent. I think we have to give ourselves room to make the human mistakes that everyone else makes.”
