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.

More quotes by Tatiana Maslany
I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.
Tatiana Maslany
Film has always been where my heart is.
Tatiana Maslany
You learn from the actors that you're working with. I've taken a lot from all of them.
Tatiana Maslany
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
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.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
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
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.
Tatiana Maslany
When I was a kid, it was the attention I got from it, the immediate response from the audience, the thrill of being onstage. That's carried over into my adult life, I can't pretend I don't like the attention or whatever, but for me now, I've witnessed incredible performances that have changed the way I see the art form.
Tatiana Maslany
My brothers are so much a part of who I am, and such a large part of my heart and my drive. I've never had a kid, but I understand that whole, I would kill for my family kind of thing. I understood it, it resonated with me. It's a very primal, animal thing that you feel for your family.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
Tatiana Maslany
I think the idea of family and protecting the family is something that ties a lot of these women together.
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
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
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
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
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
It's wild to be seen differently and have more visibility, but it's rewarding.
Tatiana Maslany
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.
Tatiana Maslany
I've learned a lot about the limits of what I can do, as an artist, or what I'm willing to do. It's a lot of responsibility to carry a show and to speak to people on different levels.
Tatiana Maslany
