Check out the full interview below.
Entertainment Weekly: Were you interested in geology before this show?
What inspired basing this whole superhuman alien race on gemstones?
Rebecca Sugar:Ive learned a lot more about geology since I started the show.
But I also loved the mythology and science tied to gems.
I found it all very inspiring, especially as I started learning more about it.
The deeper I got into the show, the more I looked to actual gems for inspiration.
For a kids show,Steven Universemanages to talk about some pretty adult topics.
It was definitely a goal early on, but it also evolved very naturally.
As a crew, were always working toward making the show we wanted as children.
Id really like to rectify that.
Peridot went from a cold and calculating villain to a pretty comic character in this season.
Can you describe your thoughts behind that characters transformation?
I think of that with Peridot.
How can you believe in what makes sense when what makes sense doesnt make sense anymore?
