Yeah, the thing is, when people think '70s, they think disco, but we're not disco, we're like Kiss, Rolling Stones, Twisted Sister.
I can't stand being around anal people, especially anal people with big egos.
It's cool because you get to see that some of these women are there because they should be. They're actually not good people to be in society. And then, other people are there because they just made a really retarded mistake.
And other people get the opportunity to leave prison, and then they do something to get put back in there because they can't actually function in society. It's really cool because you get to see all these different women, their backstories, where they come from, their upbringing and why they get to where they get to, and they're all completely different. It's really cool that you get to see all those storylines.
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.
Food nourishes you, brings people together, and I feel that anybody can bond over food.
And my mouth is not a sewer, although some people may think it is.
When you're in prison, and we're left to our own devices, you're stripped of everything, and you really get to see who these people are, the good and the bad.
Modest. When they meet me, they think I'm going to be outgoing, but I like things low-key. I don't like people to think I'm bragging.
It's funny, I used to say on 'That 70′s Show', you could really put us in any decade, and it was about the people and the characters and that we cared about each other.
The thing that sucks is that there's so much false data because people are in mystery as to what Scientology is, so they just kind of make up stuff.
I don't know how people recognize 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.
