Every girl on TV, in real life, sure you want to meet that soul mate and fall in love and have the big thing, but until that happens, you gotta kiss a lot of frogs.

When I see an amazing play or movie, it inspires me as an actress and a filmmaker.

On a lot of shows that I've done, we had the same directors, which was cool. But then, it's also great to do shows where the director changes every week because you get to see all these different personalities and see what you like dealing with better, as an actor. But, Jodie was amazing.

Working hard and appreciating the accomplishments that have come from that keeps me grounded.

Here’s the thing, making out with a girl on camera … They’re beautiful and soft. I get why you guys are into it.

It's cool because you get to see that some of these women are there because they should be. They're actually not good people to be in society. And then, other people are there because they just made a really retarded mistake.

Of course, we're supportive of the gay and lesbian community. I've just never portrayed that on camera. Once I met Taylor [Schilling] I knew that it was going to be really comfortable and okay, but the nudity was a little bit of an issue for me.
