When you're in prison, there's no hiding. These women are not hiding behind towels and shower curtains. They go to the bathroom with no doors on the stalls. It would actually look weird, if these women were hiding.

I keep my center by really making sure I am nourished and taking care of my body. I cook all of my own food and always make sure I am eating healthy, nourishing, comforting foods. I feel derailed when I don't do this.

When you're in prison, and we're left to our own devices, you're stripped of everything, and you really get to see who these people are, the good and the bad.

When you're not under a 'series regular' contract, and other jobs come up, you try to juggle everything.

It's funny, I used to say on 'That 70′s Show', you could really put us in any decade, and it was about the people and the characters and that we cared about each other.

In any character I ever play, whether she's good or bad or whatever, my most important thing is heart.

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.
