I had a hard time on TV, the last time on television, so I wasn't sure that I wanted to do that again. But, I really am a big fan of Jenji and I knew this is her next thing, so I read it. And once I read the script, I was really, really impressed that there was a woman who was the centerpiece of her own story, and that she was in the center of her own narrative.

Be yourself. You're okay. And it really doesn't matter what other people think.

I'm not very cool. I have a really hard time meeting people and stuff.

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

I don't feel bound by my face or my body. I don't feel like that's the biggest gift I have to offer the world. I feel like there are more parts of me to offer than that.

For me as an actor, daring is to tell the truth - to be yourself, no matter how the world interacts with that.

I'm really into Greek yogurt, fruit and almonds. Those are my 'go-to' snacks.
