1. SOUNDBITE (English) Kerry Washington, actor:
(Reporter: What do you see the importance of this show today and its impact on an audience?)
“In some ways, I really wish that the show wasn’t still as relevant as it is. I wish that it didn’t hit home and land. In some ways, it still does, because it shows me how much more work we still have to do as a society. But it also speaks to how timeless her (Whoopi Goldberg) writing is.”
