On learning boxing for her role as Jessica Jones:
"I felt like such a loser the first time. I didn't know how to throw a punch—why would i? Who knows how to throw a punch? Now I do it all the time, and it makes me feel strong. It's so fucking fun. You have to focus and be present... because if you aren't present, you're going to get hit in the face."
On her favorite method of relaxation, knitting:
"If I have a moment on set, or anytime, I do this. I love it, the repetition. People call it the Secret Keeper, because it's a meditation; it relaxes your mind. After I've knitted for a while, I feel like I just woke up from a nap. And what's awesome is that then you have a product! you have something you made with your hands! My gram taught me to knit when I was little, and then I came across my old knitting tools when I was cleaning out my closets after JJ season one, and got right back into it."
On paying it forward:
"[Bryan Cranston] is one of the most generous, send-the-elevator-back-down guys I've ever met. He wants to give back so much. Like, 'I've learned this, this is what works and what doesn't.' it's rare that people share like that. That kind of hit me, and I want to do that too—when I meet somebody just starting out, or not experienced, I try to give them everything, all the tools, everything I've learned along the way."
