Madeline Brewer

I grew up doing musical theater. I went to a school for musical theater, so that was always what I wanted to do growing up.

A lot of the best of what's come from working on 'Orange Is the New Black' is working with the Women's Prison Association and kind of getting to see firsthand what they do for incarcerated women.

We want to make legislation; we want to put laws on women's uteruses and whether or not they can protect themselves from pregnancy or whatever, but we don't want to protect you once you're pregnant.

The women of Gilead have so little power.

The best thing about my job is meeting people who are able to express their creativity in a way that suits them and gives them purpose.

There's absolutely no part of what I do that my dad doesn't have the utmost pride in. It doesn't matter what the job is - he's... supportive. Same with my mother.

I can only speak for myself and what feminism means to me, and that is equality for every human being: equal rights, equal representation, equal pay, etc.

It was a really interesting thing to explore, the strength it takes for someone to stay when they truly do not want to be on this Earth anymore.

We have a beautiful right in this country, which is freedom of speech.

When I went in for the 'Orange' audition, I was just doing what my agency told me to do. Truth be told, I wasn't prepared. I didn't even know how to prepare. I couldn't remember my lines.

I'm not tough.

That's one of my favorite things about 'Hemlock Grove' is that it's just unique and really just weird, and that's really what's happening with Miranda when she kind of gets thrown into the middle of this vampire-werewolf world.
