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.

Sex isn't hard, but intimacy is terrifying.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
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.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
There's something about music that makes me feel like a different person, that feels like an escape.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
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.

I started out as a dancer as a kid I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.

I find comedy to be really scary, because it can go so wrong so easily, and the margin for error is so huge - and I guess that's what makes it funny, that tension.
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.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
Trust your gut. You know yourself, so don't let somebody else tell you who you are.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
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.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
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.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
I'm fascinated with psychology, and with why a person walks the way they walk or why they walk into a room the way they do or why we are the way we are, and it's not exclusive to the psychology of a character.

Image
I was in a Nativity play as a kid. Back then, I played the donkey.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
Going back is a nice way to give definition to each of the characters because they are so vastly different. I would never want them to get blended together.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
I'm a huge 'Futurama' fan, so that's my closest sci-fi tendency.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
I think the idea of family and protecting the family is something that ties a lot of these women together.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
I like 'Futurama.' That's kind of the only thing that's my sci-fi thing, although I was big into zombies for a time.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
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.

Image
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.
