Extract of an interview of Bella Dayne who plays Astrid :
Can you tell us about your role in Humans? And for those who haven't seen the show, how would you pitch it to encourage them to watch?
"My character in Humans is called Astrid. She is from Berlin and is completely uninhibited, free of materialistic values, full of love. She sees beauty in everything and everyone, very much what Berlin as a city embodies at the moment I think. Astrid feels comfortable with who she is and thus can infatuate others with her happiness and warmth. She meets Niska (who is a Synth, but doesn’t know it yet) and the two get involved. It is to me an incredibly beautiful story, this odd couple. Niska, a Synth, disappointed by humanity, full of anger and violent impulses, who is incredibly closed off and to many would evoke fear, meets an emotionally uninhibited Astrid. She sees beyond that and sees that that behavior is only the result of deep pain of Niska's past, thus never judges and only sees beauty in her 'imperfections' and flaws and recognizes how deeply sensitive Niska truly is. My character makes someone who has become 'bitter', unafraid 'to feel' and 'to love' again. I think that is an incredibly beautiful message. Someone loving you for who you really are and continuing to do so no matter how much you try to push them away, is disarming.
"Adding to that layer that Niska is a Synth that looks like a woman - but theoretically, a 'robot' doesn’t have a gender - it reminds that love goes beyond any labels of what we are or what we look like - it goes back to that truly loving someone is loving their heart and essence.
最後一段話呢真是深得我心啊~~最近婚姻平權在台灣引起正反兩大對立激烈抗爭，老實說看完許多正反兩方的意見，我想以性傾向作為可否結婚的標準，對於同性戀者來說無異是剝奪完全的結婚權利(當你就只喜歡同性而你能結婚的對象卻只有異性，這樣形式上的結合真的有意義嗎)，其他有關傳統家庭觀念的破壞或是在同性戀家庭生長的小孩會有不良影響，諷刺的是這些可能的傷害卻幾乎源自堅守家庭傳統觀念者根深柢固的偏見(和恐懼?)，該責怪的不是同性戀者，而是那些非真實的謠言或是被曲解的真實，單純兩個人相戀為何是一種冒犯?!就像Bella說的不需要對相愛的形式貼標籤，回歸感情本質，不過就只是愛上一個人罷了沒甚麼可怕的，自己喜歡的人剛好也喜歡自己是件多麼幸運的事，承諾互許一生更是需要龐大的勇氣，這些美好的人性價值不該被保障嗎？這些遊行爭取的從來都不是特權，而是每個人都應該享有的權利。
