I've never played a manipulative, drug-smuggling lesbian before. For me, it's pushing me in an area that's great. There are days when I'd read the script and I'd be like, "Oh, God, I can't believe I have to do that."

There's a particular hierarchy in the prison - class distinctions, high-school cliques. You have to learn how to navigate.

I eat organic and cook my food whenever possible, and I live by the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time I'm Stash all the way, 20 percent I enjoy the things I want.

And other people get the opportunity to leave prison, and then they do something to get put back in there because they can't actually function in society. It's really cool because you get to see all these different women, their backstories, where they come from, their upbringing and why they get to where they get to, and they're all completely different. It's really cool that you get to see all those storylines.

I'm the tomboy so I got to be a little butch.

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

I eat super clean and am always watching what I eat.
