Quote

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

There's something about music that makes me feel like a different person, that feels like an escape.

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

Image
I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
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.

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

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

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

How you go about moving within the world you live in says so much about who you are.
