I think the idea of family and protecting the family is something that ties a lot of these women together.
Tatiana MaslanyI see a lot of things I'm so excited and hopeful about film and TV in Canada. There's just a huge movement, I think, in seeking an identity as Canadians, and really forging it and really embracing all the parts of us as Canadians that come from such varied experiences and such varied cultures. And I think there are strong voices that come out.
Tatiana MaslanyGoing back is a nice way to give definition to each of the characters because they are so vastly different. I would never want them to get blended together.
Tatiana MaslanyThere's something really unique about Orphan Black is that it has a lot of female leads, so it's about a lot of women's stories, but it's not womenโs stories in terms of trying to find a guy or keep a guy; it's about entirely other things.
Tatiana MaslanyI think that's why it's difficult for women when they watch TV and we see one version of a woman who is attached at the hip to a guy, and that's kind of her whole thing. You kind of go, 'I don't relate to this, I don't feel this.' You know? Maybe somebody does, but not everyone. That's the other thing about storytelling, is you can't represent everybody. You know, you can't seek to do that. You have to tell stories that you're interested in talking about and characters that intrigue you.
