I have a lovely beard, it's just not on my face.

It always feels good, because I am the elder stateswoman of the cast, so I am fortunate to be hugged a lot. My biggest huggers are Norman and Andrew, and because of them, I started to hug everybody! There's such an abundance of love on that set, that it is beyond belief. I've never encountered anything like it, and it was informed me, should I ever lead a company again, how to do it better than ever because of what I learned from Andrew.

Everybody showed up the see the work. People who weren't working that day. There were crowds of our community (actors and crew) who came to keep me company. Can you get kinder than that? I held my mother in my arms as she died, and her death informed my acting in episode 6:08. I really had the chance to explore what it means to die. What it means when it's the end of your parade. Thats one of the reasons the walking dead is number one, because we are all going to die, and this series explores what that can look like. TWD's familiarity with death gives us all permission to look at our own deaths with less fear. After all it's the next adventure.

Norman is a sniffer. Sometimes when he is on set he goes sniff, but his virtues far outweigh his odd little behavior tick.

If I had watched the show before I had joined the cast, I definitely would have been a fan of the show. My demographic wasn’t really a target of the show, so I hadn’t actually watched it before I was asked to be on the cast. I live a dimensional full life, you want to live in the metaphor, not the literal. To me the walkers are ISIS, Ebola, HIV, Al Qaeda, and those elements that soak the planet in blood. The walkers are death animated. I think the reason the show thrives, is that we all know that we are all going to die, and the question is how are we going to face that moment, can we face it like a hero, or like a worm?
