More quotes by 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
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 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
I'm a huge 'Futurama' fan, so that's my closest sci-fi tendency.
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
I see a lot of things I'm so excited and hopeful about film and TV in Canada. There's just a huge movement, I think, in seeking an identity as Canadians, and really forging it and really embracing all the parts of us as Canadians that come from such varied experiences and such varied cultures. And I think there are strong voices that come out.
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
How you go about moving within the world you live in says so much about who you are.
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
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 was in a Nativity play as a kid. Back then, I played the donkey.
Tatiana Maslany
I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.
Tatiana Maslany
You learn from the actors that you're working with. I've taken a lot from all of them.
Tatiana Maslany
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
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.
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
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
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 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
