My brothers and I always did improv stuff in our basement with our friends we're super nerds, and that was our way of spending a Friday night.

For me, comedians are like the epitome for everything great, and they terrify me. I just want to be them. I want to be like them.

Those darker sides, the things that we don't want to admit about ourselves - that's what excites me.

I'm incredibly close to my family. I have two younger brothers, they're both artists and actors and their work and the way they see the world inspires me. We've been making films together since we were kids, in our backyard.

I'm an actor and I like having attention. There's a reason I like being on stage and in front of the camera, and it's that interaction.

It's a daunting thing to be playing a real person and to have contact with her and meet her and be in her circle a little bit. It's an odd thing. There's so much responsibility to tell the story honestly and truthfully, and at the same time, you start to develop a friendship with this person - or I did.

I was in a Nativity play as a kid. Back then, I played the donkey.

I think the improv also helps with the imagination of dealing this person across from me who's not physically there. When you do an improv scene, you're usually working on a blank stage and creating the props and creating the environment.

There's something really unique about Orphan Black is that it has a lot of female leads, so it's about a lot of women's stories, but it's not women’s stories in terms of trying to find a guy or keep a guy it's about entirely other things.

I'm a huge 'Futurama' fan, so that's my closest sci-fi tendency.

Image
There's something about music that makes me feel like a different person, that feels like an escape.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
For me, comedy literally is way more terrifying than doing drama, so it's always about stretching what I think I can do and putting myself out there in different context.

All the foundation work you plant in the early seasons pay off in stronger storylines deep into our seasons. I think that only aids in performance.

Trust your gut. You know yourself, so don't let somebody else tell you who you are.

It's wild to be seen differently and have more visibility, but it's rewarding.

My favorite actor on the planet is Gena Rowlands and she plays women who, to me, somehow defy gender. They are women, they are feminine, they are masculine, they are everything. There's something exciting about that. I don't know how to articulate it exactly. I guess it's busting out of the archetypes a little bit and not feeling restricted.

Have fun, be yourself, enjoy life and stay positive.

I've worked on shows where the lead actor doesn't know their lines, doesn't care, and it affects everybody - the crew, the director, the other actors. It's definitely a responsibility.

I'm super sad to have it finish because it's been such a dream job, but it's nice to know there's a conclusion.

I worked with dance a lot, for each character - different ways I could move my body, different music. It's the most fun thing in the world, because I love each and every one of the characters and I'd be happy just to play one of them, but the fact that I get to play upwards of six, seven, eight or whatever, it's a total dream.

I would love to work with Gena Rowlands. I just don't know in what capacity. I'd play her daughter or granddaughter, or whatever. I would just love to work with her, in whatever capacity.
