When You're In Prison, There's No Hiding.

For Some Reason, I Like To Put Myself In Situations Where I Don't Even Know How I Ended Up There. I Never Want To Be Complacent Or Comfortable In A Role.

Food Is A Passion Because I Basically Grew Up In A Kitchen.

When I Have To Do A Scene Where I Feel Vulnerable As An Actress, I Always Grow From Those Experiences, So I Welcome Them. Even Though It May Not Feel Amazing At First. You Have To Embrace It And Use It To Improve Yourself.

Of Course, We're Supportive Of The Gay And Lesbian Community. I've Just Never Portrayed That On Camera. Once I Met Taylor [schilling] I Knew That It Was Going To Be Really Comfortable And Okay, But The Nudity Was A Little Bit Of An Issue For Me.

What Inspired Me Was That I Knew There Were So Many Other People Who Were Struggling With The Same Things I Was And Didn't Have Answers. When I Finally Started To Heal, That Was The Inspiration. My Body Changed, My Energy Level Changed, And My Overall Well-being Improved.
