Whenever there's a nude scene, it's always uneasy. You're not in the comfort of your own home with your significant other.
There's a particular hierarchy in the prison - class distinctions, high-school cliques. You have to learn how to navigate.
I do think this is where television is going, and I think that it's awesome to be a part of a show like this because we are these pioneers into this new medium. And it's working. When you look at the success of House of Cards and Arrested Development, which I love, this is how people are watching television now. It's pretty cool to be a part of this whole thing.
As actresses, our schedules are really wonky and we work weird hours. For me, personally, I watch pretty much everything on Netflix, and I watch all the episodes in a row, when I can. I don't really watch much of any live TV anymore, and I feel like a lot of people are doing that now.
When you work with an actor, it's cool because they know what it's like to be directed themselves. Jodie directed a scene with me and Taylor that was when she starts talking to me again in prison and it's our first actual confrontation that we have, where some stuff comes out.
Food is a passion because I basically grew up in a kitchen. My mother was a gourmet chef and I'm the youngest of five kids. We would always congregate in the kitchen.
Food nourishes you, brings people together, and I feel that anybody can bond over food.
When you eat pure food that isn't genetically modified, your physical and mental state does improve and it's worth the effort to make that happen.
I get to wake up and do what I love every day and I don't take that for granted. I feel grateful for it every day.
When I see a beautiful piece of art, it inspires me to be creative.
When I finally started to heal, that was the inspiration.
I love cooking and spending time in mine.

My fitness routine includes things that are not stressful on my body - swimming, yoga, stretching, and rebounding.
