As Artists, You Always Want

There's Something Really Unique About Orphan Black Is That It Has A Lot Of Female Leads, So It's About A Lot Of Women's Stories, But It's Not Women’s Stories In Terms Of Trying To Find A Guy Or Keep A Guy; It's About Entirely Other Things.

As Artists, You Always Want To Push Yourself. There's Always New Territory.

Go With Your Gut Every Single Time. It’s Never, Ever Wrong. Even If Feels Like Everybody Else Is Telling You That You Need To Do This Or Do That. Your Gut Is Your Artist And Who You Are As A Person And What Makes You Special, And What Makes You An Interesting Performer. Never Try To Be Something You’re Not.

I'll Never, Never Understand Why People Think It's Their Business To Comment On Other People's Bodies. I Go To A Spa In La Sometimes, A Korean Day Spa, And All The Women There Are Nude. And I've Never Felt So In Love With The Human Form As When I'm Walking Around And Seeing All Those Bodies, Thinking, Oh My God, We're All Just Built So Differently. And Every Single Body Is Beautiful. I Will Never Understand That Shame, And The Reinforcement Of That Shame. It's Crazy.

John Cassavetes' Films Have Really Altered The Way I See Film And Acting And Storytelling And Emotion And Love, So I See Acting As This Incredible Revealing Of Human Nature And This Means Of Telling Our Story, Sharing Our Voice With The World. That's What Acting Is For Me. It Allows For People To Experience Things Through The Character, Through The Story.
