The Importance of How Partners Treat Others

She emphasized her belief that a crucial indicator is how a person treats the crew around them, explaining,
“One that works for us at work is how people treat their crew.”
Zendaya expressed,
“I admire people who are kind to everyone, not just the actors, directors, or producers.”
She further clarified,
“A very telling thing is how a crew feels about a particular actor,”
and added that crew members witness people’s true behavior behind the scenes, saying,
“because they get to see how people are when the cameras are not rolling.”
