I don't know how people recognize me.
You can always turn a bad kisser into a good one.
I don't want to do anything like Can't Hardly Wait, I don't want to do anything like Scream. I saw all those movies, and they were good, but they're just not what I want to do.
When I see an amazing play or movie, it inspires me as an actress and a filmmaker.
I never think of myself as any kind of sex symbol, but I get letters from all over, all sorts. It's really cool. I get a lot from inmates, which is kind of scary. But the best was the guy who wanted to send me a plane ticket to fly me to his prom.
There's nothing you could say that would shock 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.
I like to think I'll just be walking down the street one day and stop and meet someone, like, 'Oh my God, you're awesome,' and then we start dating.
People in general have a preconceived idea of what prison is, from seeing documentaries or whatever.
So, I went to Germany and ended up parasailing around this castle. I was in Germany sightseeing, eating Bratwurst and hanging out in beer gardens. And then, I got back from Germany and got a call where they were like, "We need to fly you to New York tomorrow to read with Taylor [Schilling]." I was like, "Wait, for Alex, the manipulative drug-smuggling lesbian girl?!," and they were like, "Yeah."
I know that many ailments can be healed with food by nourishing your body instead of taking drugs.
The main thing I learned doing love scenes with a woman was, if it's there, it's there.
Well, I had done nudity in one other thing, but nudity for an actress is a very particular thing. It has to do with the material, and making sure it's not gratuitous, that it's done in a way that's shot beautifully, and it's for a reason. And I'd never played a lesbian before.
I love being a redhead. It's a rare thing, so I think there's a bond between redheads.
