I try not to eat too many raw vegetables. I only have one raw meal a day. At night I eat warm, cooked foods. I like to drink lots of tea, but no coffee. Not drinking coffee has changed my game for the better.

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.

As an actor, what I'm finding is that I really like the extremes. I think that's really fun to play with.

It felt really nice to not have anybody talking about numbers, and no one is talking about ratings. From my experience, it felt like there was one person running the ship and it felt like there was space for Jenji to be at the helm. That's not what I've experienced in television before. It felt more akin to an interesting movie, where there were producers who were really excited by the work and wanted to make space for the director's vision to be sort of shared with an audience. It felt more cohesive.

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

Life is so much easier when I allow myself to be myself and go with the flow.

If it's a good day, I get 'The New York Times' on my iPad, and if I have a little time in the morning, I like to look at that while I'm eating.
