You learn from the actors that you're working with. I've taken a lot from all of them.

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
Image
As artists, you always want to push yourself. There's always new territory.

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
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.

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.

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
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
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.

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'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
Image
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.

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

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.
