“We were able to kind of strangely name something you didn’t think you were looking for a name for. Which is the space between them and not, you know, specifically who did what to Silver when he was a kid.”

“When I watch it the clear implication is that [Silver’s past] is awful. Which I think if the story is going out of its way to suggest it’s unspeakable, considering the things we have spoken about, I as an audience am willing to take its word for it I guess is a way of putting it, that if you are invested in that character and you understand where all of the norms are set for the show, for someone to say, ‘I can’t say it out loud’, suggests that it really is awful. […] [it] was so terrible that it broke his ability to exist within a story.”

“It was not credible that [Silver] didn’t have a story. There’s a hint that wherever he comes from is pretty dark. It felt right to not put words to it. It was so awful, it was something he couldn’t speak about. That that’s all you need to know.”
