I'd love to do theater. I've done so many plays in my life. I still think of that as my main thing.

Whatever it is that I am working on is what I become obsessed with.

So often, we're expected to maintain some sort of standard - that won't get you where you need to go.

I had an unorthodox high-school experience; I shifted around to different schools. When I got to college and met Larry Sacharow, who ran the theatre department [at Fordham University in NYC], he was the first person to say ‘I believe in you.’ At that point, I just needed someone to say ‘I see you, I get you, let’s go.’ It’s an amazing thing to borrow someone else’s confidence in you; it can change your life.

I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that.

I actually like pole dancing! It gives you so much confidence. I never thought I'd do it, but now I'm really into it.

And I never thought about how the lights don't go out, so you never really rest, in that way. I never really thought about the intensity of being watched, all the time. Those are some things that I didn't know about prison.
