Kate Herron Quotes

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.

Well, there’s that beautiful quote about Loki from the comics, which is that he’s the god of outcasts, and I think he said ‘They see themselves in me, and I in them.’ I think that’s a big part of why I love Loki, but also, you know, he is isolated.

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

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.

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.

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

I grew up in southeast London and there’s a lot of brutalist architecture.

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

It was so exciting to me watching him go from villain to antihero over the last 10 years. So when I found out they were making a show about ‘Loki,’ I was very determined to get in the room for it, and they luckily met me and here I am. I would say I chased heavily after it as a ‘Loki’ fan.

When I started the show, that was always in the DNA of it – that Loki was going to meet a version of himself and they were going to fall in love.

My background’s in comedy.

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.

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