It's the reason we go to films and watch television: to escape the mundane nature of life and see another world and see ourselves in that other world. I think that's what sci-fi does so well.

More quotes by Tatiana Maslany
I have trouble sleeping, at the end of the night. There's a lot of stimulus and my brain is processing a lot of different arcs and personalities. I'm always processing things, so I don't sleep.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
Tatiana Maslany
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
Just to be on set with Amy Poehler, who's one of my heroes, was a total dream come true.
Tatiana Maslany
Trust your gut. You know yourself, so don't let somebody else tell you who you are.
Tatiana Maslany
Those darker sides, the things that we don't want to admit about ourselves - that's what excites me.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
Tatiana Maslany
We do long-form-style improv. Our focus was characters and telling a long arc story over about an hour and a half. It was closer to a one-act play than one-off sketches.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
Tatiana Maslany
I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.
Tatiana Maslany
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
You learn from the actors that you're working with. I've taken a lot from all of them.
Tatiana Maslany
Clothing and makeup and hair and all of that so much indicates the kind of person you are inside and the person you are presenting on the outside. Sometimes they are in conflict, and sometimes they are the same. That psychology of the exterior informing the interior is just so interesting.
Tatiana Maslany
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
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
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.
Tatiana Maslany
As a kid, I wanted to be a boy because I equated that with strength. There's a problem with that. It's only growing into my own womanhood that I realize how warped that is that I was attributing strength to male qualities.
Tatiana Maslany
There's something about music that makes me feel like a different person, that feels like an escape.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
