Quotes[]

Rand is a sheepherder, he's a farmer boy, and he's leader of the sheep, he takes care of the sheep with his father. He follows his heart often and he makes decisions very impulsively, so I guess other people would call him stubborn. But I would say he's very loving, and afraid, he's many things. I don't see him as a hero, I try to approach him in a very human way. In my book it says "Rand: Hero", which I don't really like, I just want him to be, at first he's just, a sheepherder, you know, he's from the Two Rivers.

Josha Stradowski to IGN, October 29, 2021

I can't wait for the audience to see a Rand that completely embraces who he is and what he is capable of.

Josha Stradowski to ComicBook.com, August 14, 2023

My favorite scene of season two is at the start of the season, you find Rand in a place where he's taking care of people who struggle with their mental health, just like Rand is struggling with his mental health. And there's a beautiful scene with Errol, and Rand just takes care of him. It's just such a lovely scene and it's all about giving hope. And I feel like that is a moment where Rand can actually be himself.
