Taylor Schilling

I love Ben Affleck so much. He's an amazing director.

I don't know my armpit from my elbow in Los Angeles.

I'd love to do theater. I've done so many plays in my life. I still think of that as my main thing.

Coffee makes me go crazy.

I love children. I just don't know if I'm ready to have kids. I feel like I have more time. Kids are cute, you know? They need a lot of help - that's the thing.

I'm not very cool. I have a really hard time meeting people and stuff.

There's nothing that's in an actor's control. I've learned at this point you do things and you let them go. There's no way to control the outcome. The only thing I have any sort of reign over is my own experience.

I'm a tall woman. At work, that means a lot of my co-stars have to stand next to me on apple crates. But apparently, my height bodes well in the fashion world.

I don't have a connection to the fashion world at all.

So often, we're expected to maintain some sort of standard - that won't get you where you need to go. One of the most daring things I've done is drop out of graduate school. I had no job, but something inside me was saying, 'Go! Be in the world!' I had to listen to myself, and it worked out. I still think, 'Who was that girl?'

On a film set, for me, there's so much more time to process what's going on than there is on a television set. There's more wiggle room to try things and fail and try again and get to the heart of what's going on in the scene, which is really fun for me. It's what I like to do.

'The Notebook' is one of my favorite love stories.

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!'

Honestly, all the sweets and bad stuff on set don't really call to me because I'm working so much. I've trained myself to stay away from sugar.

As an actor, what I'm finding is that I really like the extremes. I think that's really fun to play with.

I don't do detoxes or cleanses; they don't really work for me.

I tried to hostess... but they fired me after four days because I couldn't figure out how seating plans worked.

I started doing yoga in college, so that has just become a staple of a self-care routine for my mind and my body. My body craves it at this point, so I do it two to three times a week, sometimes more. I practice Vinyasa style yoga and sometimes mix it up.

I didn't spend a lot of time with prison guards, but my father was an assistant district attorney for a long time so I was always hearing stories about prisoners and prison guards.

I don't do detoxes or cleanses - they don't really work for me. I have a really moderate, simple routine. I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that.
