Tatiana MaslanyGo with your gut every single time. Itโs never, ever wrong. Even if feels like everybody else is telling you that you need to do this or do that.

Tatiana MaslanyComedy scares me a lot. I feel like it's way harder than drama. I think my safety net is definitely drama and I would love to kind of be able to be able to push into the comedy world and do something kind of like a Christopher Guest kind of style show.

Tatiana MaslanyI love performing. I love doing improv. It's a totally terrifying experience, but it's something that I've always felt so strongly about and that I'm kind of obsessed with.

Because the mandate of improv is kind of the same as acting: It's all about your scene partner, it's all about being present and in the moment and exploring together as a team, a collaboration.
