“When you and I and the average Joe on the street think about polygamy, it's usually what we've read about it -- the compounds beyond city limits, the child brides, women being kept in a cultish fashion. The creators saw the show for what it was ... kind of a weird way to refract contemporary mores about marriage.”
Bill Paxton
“In an essay 10 years ago, I pointed out that it is utterly logical for polygamy rights to follow gay rights. After all, if traditional marriage is defined as the union of (1) two people of (2) opposite gender, and if, as advocates of gay marriage insist, the gender requirement is nothing but prejudice, exclusion and an arbitrary denial of one's autonomous choices in love, then the first requirement - the number restriction (two and only two) - is a similarly arbitrary, discriminatory and indefensible denial of individual choice.”
Charles Krauthammer
“Polygamy is just the backdrop.”
Ginnifer Goodwin
“When you're working with a series that's as interesting as one about polygamy, you want to make sure it raises people's curiosity.”
Ian Schafer
“When you and I and the average Joe on the street think about polygamy, it's usually what we've read about it -- the compounds beyond city limits, the child brides, women being kept in a cultish fashion. The creators saw the show for what it was . . . kind of a weird way to refract contemporary mores about marriage.”
