One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.

Our show is less about a girl who is doing miracles and more about the domino effect of this girl's life, and how everyone else is affected. Our show seems to be a questioning show as opposed to an action sort of fairy tale.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach

My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

Image
The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.

Image
My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.
Amber Tamblyn
Image
Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.

Image
I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you
Amber Tamblyn
Image
I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that

I think we, especially in American culture, are so afraid to talk about death. And I'm not talking about literal death. I'm talking about shedding skin.
