Well, a lot of things surprised me. There were things that I had never thought about, in my life. I never thought about how loud prison was. I've never thought about how your ears never really get a break from all this noise. That was actually replicated on our set pretty well.
Taylor SchillingSo often, we're expected to maintain some sort of standard - that won't get you where you need to go.
Taylor SchillingI started doing yoga in college, so that has just become a staple of a self-care routine for my mind and my body. My body craves it at this point, so I do it two to three times a week, sometimes more. I practice Vinyasa style yoga and sometimes mix it up.
Taylor SchillingHonestly all the sweets and bad stuff on set don't really call to me because I'm working so much. I've trained myself to stay away from sugar.
Taylor SchillingThere is something so sad about going online and seeing almost everyone shouting โNotice me, notice me!โ Which is such a human desireโto be acknowledged. But me responding to that with some sort of โYouโre noticed, youโre seenโ only perpetuates the loneliness. Because Iโm not seeing you; Iโm not noticing you. And whoever you are, you so deserve to be noticed and valued. I feel lucky to have not grown up with the Internet because it forced me to get out, struggle and be so messy.
