“I've been married for four years, and I'm still finding out things about my husband.” Quote by Kristin Bauer van Straten
“I had a hard time on TV, the last time on television, so I wasn't sure that I wanted to do that again. But, I really am a big fan of Jenji and I knew this is her next thing, so I read it. And once I read the script, I was really, really impressed that there was a woman who was the centerpiece of her own story, and that she was in the center of her own narrative.” HardStoriesBigsWantedLastsNextFansTelevisionTvsScriptsNarrativeHard TimesImpressedLast TimeCenterpieces Author:Taylor Schilling
“It felt really nice to not have anybody talking about numbers, and no one is talking about ratings. From my experience, it felt like there was one person running the ship and it felt like there was space for Jenji to be at the helm. That's not what I've experienced in television before. It felt more akin to an interesting movie, where there were producers who were really excited by the work and wanted to make space for the director's vision to be sort of shared with an audience. It felt more cohesive.” PersonsRunningWantedFeltSpaceInterestingNumbersTalkingVisionAudienceNiceTelevisionDirectorsExcitedShipsProducersReally NiceRatingHelm Author:Taylor Schilling
“I'm getting the jobs that are a gift, and also the jobs that I do because I just love them. That's ideal, for anybody. I get to enjoy the day that I go to work. I actually enjoy every minute of the day.” JobsEnjoyMinutesIdeals Author:Kristin Bauer van Straten
“It's as interesting to me as someday getting to play in some beautiful period piece where the costumes are from a completely different era. This feels as extreme as that, and that's really liberating. It's really liberating to just go 180 from what my life is like. I love that! I love not having to think about clothes. I wanted to wear a uniform when I was in high school, but I couldn't. I was like, "It would be so much easier!"” ThinkingFeelsDifferentPlayWould BeWantedSchoolBeautifulLife IsInterestingPiecesPeriodsEasierClothesHigh SchoolExtremesErasSomedayUniformsCostumesLiberatingLife Is LikeDifferent Eras Author:Taylor Schilling
“Well, a lot of things surprised me. There were things that I had never thought about, in my life. I never thought about how loud prison was. I've never thought about how your ears never really get a break from all this noise. That was actually replicated on our set pretty well.” WellsBreakEarsPrisonNoiseLoud Author:Taylor Schilling
“And I never thought about how the lights don't go out, so you never really rest, in that way. I never really thought about the intensity of being watched, all the time. Those are some things that I didn't know about prison.” KnowsWayLightPrisonIntensity Author:Taylor Schilling
“When I was born, my father named me Melissa, and I am still Melissa but I got the nickname Lizzo around the time I was in the Cornrow Clique. I'm from Houston, so naturally, everyone dropped the second syllable of your name and just put an "O" there.” StillsFatherNamesBornSyllablesNicknamesHoustonCliqueMelissa Author:Lizzo
“When I first saw Destiny's Child, I was in the fifth grade, and it made me want to sing and make music and there would be these freestyles on the radio for what seemed like hours, it was just so cool to me. So all of these influences and these styles started to blend together. Eventually, that evolved into me finding the indie scene in Houston. When I was 19, I joined a rock band, and that's when I began to say, "Okay, this is something that I could take seriously."” WantFirstsChildrenMadeWould BeTogetherHoursDestinySawsInfluenceRocksStyleSceneBandFindingsOkayRadioGradesFifthHoustonRock BandsFreestyleFifth Grade Author:Lizzo
“So every time I rap about being a big girl in a small world it's doing a couple things: it's empowering my self-awareness, my body image, and it's also making the statement that we are all bigger than this, we're a part of something bigger than this, and we should live in each moment knowing that.” WorldShouldSelfMomentsBodyBigsGirlKnowingAwarenessCoupleBiggerSelf AwarenessRapStatementsEmpoweringBody ImageSmall WorldBig GirlCouple Things Author:Lizzo
