Tequila is my drink. It is my favorite alcohol, my favorite liquor because, you know, it's a stimulant and not a depressant. If I go to a party and everyone's been drinking and I don't have time to really catch up - I'm not trying to get drunk but I want to feel good - I drink tequila.

This show [Jessica Jones] was exploring the aftermath, and that is unique. You're sitting there going, I know what happens. This is the aftermath.
