"My job is to find sympathy where society refuses to. People like Loki are often locked up and judged and reviled-and rightfully, kind of, chastised and castigated and lionized. My job is to find the humanity in him. Ultimately, underneath all of Loki’s hatefulness and spite is a lost child. I have to get underneath the skin of that. He’s just someone who is so lacking in self-esteem, all he needs is true affection."
