I'm attracted to stories that excite my imagination, stories that, as I'm reading the script, I feel it, I can see it, I can hear the characters. I'm attracted to characters that are real, that tap into something inside me that I haven't explored yet.
Tatiana MaslanyJohn Cassavetes' films have really altered the way I see film and acting and storytelling and emotion and love, so I see acting as this incredible revealing of human nature and this means of telling our story, sharing our voice with the world. That's what acting is for me. It allows for people to experience things through the character, through the story.
Tatiana MaslanyI love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.
Tatiana MaslanyI'm running on adrenalin when we're shooting. It's non-stop. As soon as I have time to sit down, then I fall asleep.
Tatiana MaslanySo much of how you look at yourself in the mirror reflects how you feel about yourself, and how you comport yourself.
Tatiana MaslanyThe whole press thing and who you are in the media, or what you have to project yourself to be, it feels very much like another person. People say to me, "Oh, your life must be changing," and I'm like, "Uh, I guess?" For me, it's such a gradual change, and I don't see it from the outside like everybody else does. It's weird, I see my face on a bus or online or somebody has my picture as their picture on Twitter and it's all a bit weird and I feel very disconnected from it and very much, "I guess that's me." It's very surreal.
