There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for

Summary

This quote speaks to the importance of values and principles in our lives. It suggests that while there may be causes or beliefs that we hold so dearly that we would be willing to sacrifice our lives for them, there is no justification for taking someone else's life in the name of those causes. It emphasizes the inherent value of life and the rejection of violence as a means to achieve our goals. Essentially, it reminds us that despite the passions we may have, killing should never be justified or deemed worthy.

I liked the way my character, Shane, was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action, and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is, to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.
