My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.

I think the sci-fi world allows for exploration of that that isn't on the nose and that isn't preachy, but it's kind of artful and explores it differently. I think there's more imagination in sci-fi. There's more chance to kind of explore perspective and not have it so grounded in this world that we live in, which is so stuck in a patriarchal kind of system.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.

Just to be on set with Amy Poehler, who's one of my heroes, was a total dream come true.

The most bizarre demographics come up to me. Men in their 50s come up to me and are like, "Alison is my favorite. I hated her at first, and now I love her." I don't know what that says about people's psychology.

All the foundation work you plant in the early seasons pay off in stronger storylines deep into our seasons. I think that only aids in performance.
