I think there's a collective consciousness around the world that there are things beyond our control that have the power to annihilate us, as a species, and it's all rather frightening.
The beauty of 'The Walking Dead' and the beauty of being on a television show for a while, is that, it's your backstory, it's part of what you are, it's what you carry with you every day.
I'm not interested in playing the victim. I like stories about survivors.
I don't want my tombstone to say actress. I want it to say human being.
