And if they push back against you too much, it can actually be kind of annoying, especially if you're just correct because you're like, look. I'm smarter than you on this topic, I know more.

When I was thinking about the character, I guess one picture that I had in mind is, especially because these are models that are going to be talking to people from all over the world with lots of different political views, lots of different ages. And so you have to ask yourself, what is it to be a good person in those circumstances?

Is there a kind of person who can travel the world, talk to many different people, and almost everyone will come away being like, wow, that's a really good person. That person seems really genuine. And I guess my thought there was like, I can imagine such a person. And they're not a person who just adopts the values of the local culture. And in fact, that would be kind of rude.

And so I guess I had in mind that the person who like if we were to aspire to be the best person that we could be in the kind of circumstance that a model finds itself in, how would we act? And I think that's the kind of the guide to the sorts of traits that I tend to think about.
