Here are some notable Tatiana Maslany quotes:
“I’ve always been a bit of a clown, and I think making people laugh is one of the best feelings.”
“I try not to live in this celebrity world where you’re on display. I find it really anxiety-inducing and just bad for your brain.”
“As an actor, the best characters are the ones you do the most work for, because there’s a well to dip into creatively.”
“I want to play complex, nuanced, messy women. I want to tell stories that otherwise wouldn’t get told.”
“I definitely have a darker view of the world now that I play all these characters who are capable of anything.”
“I try to keep a pretty regular home life – cooking, being with family and friends, all of those kinds of things.”
“I can get incredibly terrified by playing a part. But you have to go there, to uncomfortable places, in order to get something interesting.”
