I'm from Sacramento, and I have no idea what growing up in a city is like.

In an industry still dominated by men, working with a female director on an episode written by a woman, helmed by a female showrunner, all while doing scenes with your screen sister is like getting to see the big five at the wild animal park. It's awesome.

Power' is Andy Bean's first television job, ever. Talk about sticking the landing at first go!

I've always found men to be incredible allies, particularly with their perspective.

I have the best roommates in the world! It creates a fun sense of family... and that's really important to me. Things can get so lonely without it.

I was a lonely child. My brother Tony and I were never very close, neither as children nor as adults, but I was tightly bound to him. We were forced to be together because we were really quite alone. We were in the middle of the Irish countryside, in County Galway, in the West of Ireland, and we didn't see many other kids.

We were never intimate mother and children while she was our mother - but... when she became our child, the affection came.

The whole reason I fight is for my family. Everything I do is for them.
