here’s the interview
“[Black Sails], in its deepest DNA, is a story about people who stepped outside the social norms of the place they were born into. I think as part of the exercise of wanting to tell a story of who they are—it’s meaningless unless you understand who they think they are. You can’t tell that story without telling a story about their sexual identity, and their coming to terms with things that would have been very difficult for them to understand or engage with when they were living in London or in civilized society—but they can in pirate society.”

I came here ’cause we all agreed we had a chance to take Nassau back. Have a place of our own. I ain’t here to prove anything. I ain’t here to figure out who I am. And I sure as shit ain’t here to pretend a dead man might think better of me for it.

“Anne Bonny’s story, in season two especially, was one of the more gratifying stories we were able to pull off. It’s about a woman realizing she isn’t who she thought she was, and season three is about finding a measure of comfort in that.”
—Dan Shotz
“Of the things that I’m proud of with the show, it’s probably at the top, this story of this woman sort of coming out and understanding that she’s gay, especially given the life she’s led. That was something we had to fight for.”
