"I think it’s important that the leading lady of the Flash not always be captured, and I think it’s important to see her be the hero of her own story,” Patton says. “A lot of times she takes the reigns in trying to protect herself and to protect others and I think that’s what makes Iris so special. And we’ll see even more of that later in the season how Iris steps up and becomes a superhero to the team in her own way."


"I think the more and more I meet fans and realize the impact this kind of show has on people across the world, I feel empowered and I feel responsible to speak up and speak out for people who may not have as big of a platform or as big of a voice as I have,” she says. “And I think even in our political climate, I think it requires all of us, whether you have a platform or not, to speak up and to not be afraid of saying what is good and what is right. So you know, even if it’s an unpopular opinion, I’m no longer going to be quiet about things that I feel are important and are right

"My fan interactions are really, really special. They're one of the highlights of this job for me, because I go out and do these conventions all across the world and meet all of these young girls - girls that look like me, and girls that look nothing like me, that are excited and empowered to see a woman of color on television. I'm really grateful for the fans that I have.."

@candicekp:

I’m just trying to be successful enough to give my dog the backyard she deserves.

It’s Sunday and I definitely ripped my pants down the crotch doing a sumo squat in front of an approx 6 and 8 old while I yelled “girls rule and boys drool” in their face before I started to play arcade basketball. I’mworkingonmyself

The future is still female.
