I keep my center by really making sure I am nourished and taking care of my body. I cook all of my own food and always make sure I am eating healthy, nourishing, comforting foods. I feel derailed when I don't do this.
Acting wasn't even in my world at all. My oldest sister worked at 'Glamour' magazine and said I should model, but I had no interest.
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.
My vintage Levi's are my favorite on the show, 'cause they really fit.
I know that when you take care of yourself and are happy and healthy, you are better for those around you and your environment.
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 eat organic and cook my food whenever possible, and I live by the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time I'm Stash all the way, 20 percent I enjoy the things I want.
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.
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.
Whenever there's a nude scene, it's always uneasy. You're not in the comfort of your own home with your significant other.
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 am so like Donna it's funny. And most of my friends are guys too.
Our poker table is eight guys, and then I'm the ninth; I'm usually the only girl at the table.
