I really expected Twitter to be a scary place, for people to say horrible things, but I've had just the opposite experience.

I can't imagine not playing Wynonna, because I get to play so many different things. In any given episode, I get drama and comedy and horror and all the notes of life, and very few shows or movies give you that opportunity.

I care about hurting other people because, well, I don't want to hurt people - well, I do sometimes, but I still don't.

When I was pretending not to be pregnant, I knew where I stood with everyone, and I knew that the world would accept me; I knew where I fit.

A lot of Wynonna is what I wish I could be. I don't like confrontation. I'm pretty polite. But I think she's the side of me that, if I could be free, that's who I'd be.

People are so used to men playing these amazing roles that they sometimes can't even see that there is no reason it has to be a man other than it was written that way - this is true for diversity in general.

Trust yourself and don't do anything that doesn't feel right.

I'm a big fan of honesty and being real, so to me, it seemed like Wynonna was a very human character in a very supernatural circumstance. I was like, 'I can do that!'

I've done some awful auditions, and I've really done some horrible work, but it forced me to flex those muscles, and that's what makes you a better actor, just doing bad work and seeing what looks bad and growing from it.

I think it's refreshing when the people you're looking up to mess up just like you do, but somehow, things, in their own way, work out.

Rejection is never personal, so don't let it consume you.
