Whenever there's a nude scene, it's always uneasy. You're not in the comfort of your own home with your significant other.

When I feel connected, mind-body and spirit, I feel centered.

My fitness routine includes things that are not stressful on my body - swimming, yoga, stretching, and rebounding.

Acting wasn't even in my world at all. My oldest sister worked at 'Glamour' magazine and said I should model, but I had no interest.

So, I went to Germany and ended up parasailing around this castle. I was in Germany sightseeing, eating Bratwurst and hanging out in beer gardens. And then, I got back from Germany and got a call where they were like, "We need to fly you to New York tomorrow to read with Taylor [Schilling]." I was like, "Wait, for Alex, the manipulative drug-smuggling lesbian girl?!," and they were like, "Yeah."

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

When you work with an actor, it's cool because they know what it's like to be directed themselves. Jodie directed a scene with me and Taylor that was when she starts talking to me again in prison and it's our first actual confrontation that we have, where some stuff comes out.
