These days there are a lot of people who just want to be famous. I think that comes from a naive place, because those people generally don’t know what it’s like.
After President Obama took office, his campaign book ‘The Audacity of Hope’ receded into his past fast. Its sweet, naive, bipartisan ‘let’s reason together’ passages fell away, too.
What I love about ‘Big Hero 6’, with Baymax himself – this sentient creature who’s actually a learning robot – with each experience, this naive and gullible creature becomes more aware of issues.
I’ve always thought that we, as human beings, would be naive and arrogant to pretend that we’re the only life form in the galaxy.
I’ve never loved a character as much as I do Niska. The way she’s been written is so complex, with huge amounts of light and dark. It’s a really satisfying challenge to play someone who is superhuman in their intelligence and physical ability but completely naive when it comes to certain aspects of life.
I oscillate between being cynical and being naive on a regular basis. I always think that not much shocks me until something much too obvious does.
I’d read a lot of books where the girls are in awe of the supernatural male, so I thought it was time to write about an awesome and super-powerful female who is also quite vulnerable and naive about life on earth.
