"I think Shane loves control. Outside of his life, he likes steering the thing; he likes, you know, dominating to a degree in his sport. He likes to do everything to be able to continue to do that in his sport. And I think that’s his whole life up to this point. So I think with Ilya, there’s an element of control he can give up and, you know, he’s reinforced that he’s doing a good job. And I think at the end of the day, Shane loves to do a good job and make people happy, and perform. And I think with Ilya, it’s both, his sexual urges are that of, you know, more. Yeah, it’s more submissive, but also it’s, for him, that’s the joy of how he can perform, you know?"
"I mean, if I look at his emotional journey, secularly from our arc and the love story of the show, he is totally out of control in terms of what he’s allowed to be in his country. He is totally out of control in how everything goes down with his mother. He’s so out of control with his father. I mean, I’ve said it, I don’t really think that Ilya gives a shit about hockey, and you know, it just so happens to be something he’s good at, and so he’s thrust into this thing. And what’s the opposite of that, you know, is being in control."
