If Alex was a man would the interviewer still consider it such a risky, "explicit" script? The way he says "lesbian stuff" is a fucking travesty. "...It wasn't a lesbian thing for me, it was a love story." THANK YOU, TAYLOR.
Aaa I love Taylor. She's always so genuinely open-minded and intelligent when interviewed. And she's always able to shoot down peoples' ignorance so gracefully.
Aaa She is!!? And here I was assuming Taylor was hetero all this time hahaha... Although she did always seem to know what she was doing when it came to performing the Alex/Piper love scenes...
BrTutty totally agree! I didn't even stop on the fact that they were lesbian, I fell in love with them and their relationship since the very beginning not even thinking about that. SO great Taylor shares that mentality
taylor handled those questions so well. i mean, what a terrible interviewer. those questions focused on isolating minority groups, like what's the big deal in having a female director instead of a male? what's the big deal in lesbian sex? gees, talk about an irl mr healy.
lmao no. If you're an actor or actress you have to be prepared for roles like that, the role isnt always going to be straight because lgbt+ people exist too lol. It doesnt matter whether youre 'into it' irl or not, if youre in a job like that youre gonna need open mindedness because you dont become an actor to play roles that match exactly who you are irl. If she wasnt okay with it she wouldnt have accepted the role...
Marría Catchy Wow, gotta love women who tear down other women by reducing them to a single physical attribute. Hopefully you'll overcome your own insecurities some day and become a more generous spirit.

Naaa... I was just kidding... I'm the most imperfect person physically speaking. Don't take it too harsh, sorry.
Marría Catchy Ok, thanks for clarifying. There's just so much negative dissecting of women's physical appearances on the interwebs--and much of it sadly by fellow women.
The interviewer is really stupid but Taylor handled herself well. It was so annoying when the interviewer kept bringing up the "lesbian thing" just to get gossip, but Taylor was extremely articulate and intellectual and actually went deeper into the storylines and avoided silly generalizations. She's really awesome and I can't wait for Season 2 :).
Not only lesbians are going crazy over Alex lol, They're a bunch straight girls like me that are personally in love and attracted to her. Idk maybe it's just me but Alex's character is sorta my kind, like the mysterious, sarcastic, tough on the outside but soft on the inside kind of girl. love her
I'm surprised by how desired Alex's character is. I personally prefer Piper, she's very articulate in her words, intelligent, and vulnerable and not to mention gorgeous. Love her character and Taylor Schilling who plays her.
Taylor showed off in this interview. The reporter made stupid comments and questions. And she answered calmly and correctly. Taylor is very pretty and very smart. Good for her. Congratulations.
geez no need to be hostile lol. and I don't know what I would've asked her but I know what I wouldn't have asked her, which was more than half of his questions. I just didn't get much out of this interview and it was because I didn't find most of his questions necessary or relevant. just my opinion
Donna Brooks Actually after rewatching the interview let me explain myself. When i said "wtf is this interviewer talking about" I was moreso referring to how he asked that particular question after he kept emphasizing on the homosexuality in the show as if that's something sooo "out of this world" for an actor to take on as part of a script, and I feel like he just kept bringing up that subject and trying to get more out of her when she had already said it's not that it's a LESBIAN scene, it's that it's a love scene. it's not that they're LESBIAN and TRANS characters, it's that they're INDIVIDUAL characters all with their own stories that really tear them apart from that generalization. So after he kept focusing on that aspect, asking if it was different to be directed by a woman than a man just made me think "come on now, enough with the gender stuff" which actually might sound offensive but I thought that because if you're going to focus on the LGBT aspect of the show, I believe you shouldn't narrow it down in a way that makes it seem like it's odd or overwhelming to work with the fact that characters in the show are lesbian/trans/bi/etc. But you know what, you're right, that IS an interesting question. It was the the context he put it in (at least from how I interpreted it) that made me roll my eyes and wonder if he was even really sure what he was talking about or if he was just trying to get fluff out of this interview or the majority of the interview. i still think most of the questions he asked were unnecessary but you're right, that particular question wasn't. However, had he approached it differently I wouldn't have thought it unnecessary or irrelevant. still, all just my opinion.
Horrendous interview technique, incredibly stupid things said '....you know....The lesbian stuff...' Utterly idiotic interview but good, intelligent answers from Schilling.
incredibly well said - the interviewer kept trying to generalize the characters as simply the trans, or the lesbian, but Taylor pointed out that they were much more than that, and this realness of the characters is what makes OITNB so special.
this is the coolest interview ever, she was just so considerate and lovely, I have so much admiration for the way she responded to the unnecessary stuff.
Taylor remained so poised throughout this interview. Instead of remarking on the less than stellar questions, she chose to respond intelligently. Her responses were so on point.
love her responses in this interview! also, wonder if the interviewer hit himself when he heard that Taylor is in a relationship with a woman... she was so smooth with her answers to his macho questions! cool chick ;)
I literally watched the entire season with my brother in a day. We stayed up from like 7 at night to 7 in the morning the next day watching it, it was so good!
Such a stunning, gentle-speaking woman…wonderful actor…makes the character real, vulnerable, arrogant, and adorably likable….hope to see her on future tv series, she’s a natural in front of the camera…
Great interview, she's obviously really passionate about the show and the characters stories which is brilliant and means she understands why the audience love it so much. Not sure I like the interviewer much though, it seems like he is trying to get Taylor to say she was worried about being a lesbian blah blah. But she threw it right back at him when she said 'I didn't see it as a lesbian thing, it's just a beautiful love story'. Go girl!
agreed. he cant get enough of man vs woman questions-- set aside the lesbian questions. geez! it is like 70s in him, questions and clothes. glad that taylor answered these silly questions well.
wow. looks like I have a new crush. hahaha. Taylor you are an amazing actress, and the way you handled those questions - all very real and sincere responses of your thoughts. And gorgeous obvs! Love you!
Great interview. Taylor is fantastic, great answers. Also loved her expert evasion of the Laura question - there's no doubt whatever's going on with Alex is plot based and they're not allowed to spoil it.
Not really sure why everyone is hating on the interviewer. Homosexuality is still a controversial issue today, so he's asking legitimate questions about her take on things. I don't see what's wrong with asking how she felt being in a show that brings out lesbianism. You don't know if it was something new to her or not, or if she developed a new perspective. So of course, I'd be curious too. Don't turn it into something else when it isn't. Besides that, she is GORGEOUS!!!
Great interview - I love how she steered the somewhat tactless interview questions to a place of intelligence and depth! Also - I'd say Taylor looks like a mix of Katy Perry and Uma Thurman!
I hate it when actresses say that they treat the lesbian relationship like any other relationship... No it is not like any other relationships because its so much hotter!!!!!!! Haha
Ok, that very first question, dear Mr . reporter, was stupid - supid - stupid. Why "omg, a movie about lesbians"? What's so "omg" about? Ah, for eff sake is 2014 already, get over it!
Hey DailyXtra just a question about "all the lesbian stuff"…lets say that the show took place in a christian church and it was talking about the relationship of the straight couples that go to church…would you ask her about all "that straight stuff"…she is an actress, she can't be disgusted by lesbian scenes like you are, if she is professional and if the character is rich she will do it regardless..but she gave you a great answer she also doesn't see as "lesbian stuff" but a love story.
"Sexual orientation and gender identification are irrelevant". Who are you kidding? Yourself, maybe. The world at large, never. And a woman being directed by a woman is certainly different to that same woman being directed by a man. What woman director and what man matter, of course. Everything matters and absolutely nothing is irrelevant, including all the self-told lying going on, even by the actresses themselves. They must be aware that their lesbian characters are a huge come-on. The interviewer hits on all the "sore" spots, lesbianism, nude lesbian love scenes, female -- Jodie Foster!! -- direction because they ARE sore. I may agree w those commenters on here that say so what? But tell that to mainstream America, to mainstream anywhere! Be real about it. He is, imo, being real about it. He even states that everyone is talking about those subjects. And he is so obviously intelligent that I have to smile at those who see him and his questions as stupid. It's a relatively short interview too. Taylor's evasion and making other points are also valid. It's like the British series LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX, where there are a lesbian couple AND an ageing straight couple who "star". But why is everyone (& maybe their mother) watching it? For the ageing couple who discover passion for the first time, as touching as that is? No, for the lesbian couple. Some commenters say of one of the actresses playing a (reluctant too) lesbian that this is her best role ever. Maybe, but she's always been fabulous and continues to be in her present thriller series. Of course, actors grow, but wow every time with Sarah Lancashire.
She totally dodged the question about weather Prepon has even been on the set. This makes me think all the more, that Laura Prepon is leaving. They wont discuss that, because they want people to still watch OITNB. An while it sucks that she may very well NOT be back on the set of OITNB. As they say in show business, the show must go on, and it will. I'll still watch it. I'll be a little disappointed but I'll still watch. I want to see what happens to Piper now that she beat the shit out of Pennsatucky, and if Pennsatucky gets her new teeth now, and what happens with Red and Daya and Bennet.
If Alex was a man would the interviewer still consider it such a risky, "explicit" script? The way he says "lesbian stuff" is a fucking travesty.
"...It wasn't a lesbian thing for me, it was a love story." THANK YOU, TAYLOR.
Aaa I love Taylor. She's always so genuinely open-minded and intelligent when interviewed. And she's always able to shoot down peoples' ignorance so gracefully.
Aaa She is!!? And here I was assuming Taylor was hetero all this time hahaha... Although she did always seem to know what she was doing when it came to performing the Alex/Piper love scenes...
Aaa where do you read that?
BrTutty YES. AMEN \o/
BrTutty totally agree! I didn't even stop
on the fact that they were lesbian, I fell in love with them and their relationship since the very beginning not even thinking about that. SO great Taylor shares that mentality
"I didn't think about that" because she doesn't see them as their sexuality she sees them as their character. God bless Taylor.
Yes!
True!
I love the way she talks. So calm and graceful haha
Rebecca Blake omg yes
The interviewer is the real life Mr Healy
sarahjeanis "the lesbians" can be dangerous
Lesbian request denied!
Looks like caputo though!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂LMFAO
LITERALLY
taylor handled those questions so well. i mean, what a terrible interviewer. those questions focused on isolating minority groups, like what's the big deal in having a female director instead of a male? what's the big deal in lesbian sex? gees, talk about an irl mr healy.
I agree! This interviewer is an idiot.
Yeah, I agree too. Very first of his question was about "lesbianism" and nudity. Taylor was focusing to the story instead.
holy shit i was thinking the same thing! it was so damn irritating omg
Well it might be hard to kiss a person of the same sex and have fake sex if you aren't into it...
lmao no. If you're an actor or actress you have to be prepared for roles like that, the role isnt always going to be straight because lgbt+ people exist too lol. It doesnt matter whether youre 'into it' irl or not, if youre in a job like that youre gonna need open mindedness because you dont become an actor to play roles that match exactly who you are irl. If she wasnt okay with it she wouldnt have accepted the role...
she is soooo soft spoken
holy f..she is the prettiest actress I've ever seen honestly..
Henrik Michael really? what about that huge forehead?

I feel ya girl ;) alex is just perfectó
Exactly the same. She's so perfect.
I'm not attracted to Alex because I see too much of her in me but I am in love with Natasha Lyonne
SAME
Sounds like you’re not straight then. Lmao
Taylor... I just want to say you have the MOST PRETTIEST EYES.
+BITCHIM CLASSY laura is pretty to
Yes she is so fucking hot and so is Laura and wish they'd actually get together ahh
ally mark why do you think they have sex and make out and they are not in love
veyda Phillips they’re not dating. Laura is married to a man and has a kid
...and mouth.
I love how even when he say stupid questions she still gives intelligent answers
I'm surprised by how desired Alex's character is. I personally prefer Piper, she's very articulate in her words, intelligent, and vulnerable and not to mention gorgeous. Love her character and Taylor Schilling who plays her.
Yes! Me too
Nico .//. and the faces she makes! so funny omg :')
Same she is so beautiful, I can’t. .
Yes I love piper, taylor
Did a lesbian break this guy's heart or something? Cause that's all he seems to want to talk about and not just in this interview.
Healy influenced
Definitely Healified
So poor the way this dude interviewed Taylor, so sexist and oblique !!! Bravo for Taylor she is great and her answers were very respectful and clever.
Taylor showed off in this interview. The reporter made stupid comments and questions. And she answered calmly and correctly. Taylor is very pretty and very smart. Good for her. Congratulations.
I love the way she talks & the wax she doesn't fall into stereotypes. She really is very envolved & accorded to the message of the show & I love that
This guy is so anoying...... He keeps covering his prejudice with questions... Taylor, you go girl! Awesome answers!
"is it different being directed by a woman than a man?"
wtf is this interviewer talking about lol
geez no need to be hostile lol. and I don't know what I would've asked her but I know what I wouldn't have asked her, which was more than half of his questions. I just didn't get much out of this interview and it was because I didn't find most of his questions necessary or relevant. just my opinion

still, all just my opinion.
Taylor schilling being a lesbian in real life is the biggest plot twist lol.
Horrendous interview technique, incredibly stupid things said '....you know....The lesbian stuff...' Utterly idiotic interview but good, intelligent answers from Schilling.
Turned off at that first line
incredibly well said - the interviewer kept trying to generalize the characters as simply the trans, or the lesbian, but Taylor pointed out that they were much more than that, and this realness of the characters is what makes OITNB so special.
I'm surprised Taylor didn't punch the interviewer in the face everytime he said something about lesbians
or about man vs woman-- as director, as love interest. smh.
love her answers hate his questions
this is the coolest interview ever,
she was just so considerate and lovely, I have so much admiration for the way she responded to the unnecessary stuff.
She's so well-spoken
Taylor remained so poised throughout this interview. Instead of remarking on the less than stellar questions, she chose to respond intelligently. Her responses were so on point.
Just discovered the show and watched every episode. They can say a lot about the show and it's true, but one thing is SHE IS GORGEOUS!
love her responses in this interview! also, wonder if the interviewer hit himself when he heard that Taylor is in a relationship with a woman... she was so smooth with her answers to his macho questions! cool chick ;)
oh my. She's so gorgeous
Piper and Alex's scenes are my favorite.

Yes
Yes!!!
Yeah me 2

She is such a beauty! Love the show!
I literally watched the entire season with my brother in a day. We stayed up from like 7 at night to 7 in the morning the next day watching it, it was so good!
She's so articulate and explains everything so freely and well! Love her!
I'm hooked on this show. They all did such an amazing job on it.
I watched all 13 episodes in one day.... It was so good, I'm sad I watched it so fast ..
She is too cute.
love how open she was about the gay stuff.
i can hear the Piper Chapman tone in her voice.
I went from Breaking Bad, to The Walking Dead, to Orange is the New Black... must find another great series on Netflix!

Well... to be honest actually Alex is more popular than piper
OMG Taylor did an amazing job in this interview!
Such a stunning, gentle-speaking woman…wonderful actor…makes the character real, vulnerable, arrogant, and adorably likable….hope to see her on future tv series, she’s a natural in front of the camera…
I love watching and listening to Taylor talk
"lesbianism"
....
Great interview, she's obviously really passionate about the show and the characters stories which is brilliant and means she understands why the audience love it so much.

But she threw it right back at him when she said 'I didn't see it as a lesbian thing, it's just a beautiful love story'. Go girl!
Interviewer = Mr. Healy. Do you hear your questions. You can't even finish your sentences/questions. Not a pro. Embarrassing. Smh
You beat me to the punch. I was going to say that about Mr. Healy. haha
agreed. he cant get enough of man vs woman questions-- set aside the lesbian questions. geez! it is like 70s in him, questions and clothes.
glad that taylor answered these silly questions well.
wow. looks like I have a new crush. hahaha. Taylor you are an amazing actress, and the way you handled those questions - all very real and sincere responses of your thoughts. And gorgeous obvs! Love you!
that interviewer is narrow it seems, i love the way taylor schilling responded
Great interview. Taylor is fantastic, great answers.
Also loved her expert evasion of the Laura question - there's no doubt whatever's going on with Alex is plot based and they're not allowed to spoil it.
the interviewer look like caputo
triiiib yes!!!! 🙌🏻
Hahaha
i actually thought it was him at first but then i looked closer and listened to his voice and was like *oh not caputo*
Not really sure why everyone is hating on the interviewer. Homosexuality is still a controversial issue today, so he's asking legitimate questions about her take on things. I don't see what's wrong with asking how she felt being in a show that brings out lesbianism. You don't know if it was something new to her or not, or if she developed a new perspective. So of course, I'd be curious too. Don't turn it into something else when it isn't. Besides that, she is GORGEOUS!!!
wtf he frgot Laura's surname???
This guy sucks
If amy pohler and Katy perry had a baby...
I can't unsee it
Ikr
Omg Taylor very good answers, you got it! ❤😍
Love her! She seems like a really nice person ;)
Taylor is such a sweetheart ❤️🙂
she look juss like katy perry
Katy is hotter.
Lets just settle that both are hot. And only one of them will really kiss a girl. And like it...
yeah both of them are hot in a different way! :)
omg I thought I was the only one to think that!
in the future, please don't say "juss" it really lowers your ability to comprehend stuff if you type exactly as you speak.
He is an awful unprofessional interviewer.
does the reporter work sweeping chimneys between interviews?
shes beautiful!
she's so unbelievably cute
Ahh she is a great in real life! A she's such a smart woman and great speaker.
Great interview - I love how she steered the somewhat tactless interview questions to a place of intelligence and depth! Also - I'd say Taylor looks like a mix of Katy Perry and Uma Thurman!
Perfect speech Taylor. Love u 💟
This interviewer is such a mysogynist
I love this show. Can't wait for Season 2!
I hate it when actresses say that they treat the lesbian relationship like any other relationship... No it is not like any other relationships because its so much hotter!!!!!!! Haha
I am not the type to crush on a white girl (just not my type) BUUUUTTTTTT TAYLOR is an exception ! HOT! Lawd
She's so hot wooooow
looking forward for season 2.
shes so stunning
Her and Alex were perfect I wish it was real. If I was piper I would go with Alex she's hot so r u piper
Ok, that very first question, dear Mr . reporter, was stupid - supid - stupid.
Why "omg, a movie about lesbians"? What's so "omg" about?
Ah, for eff sake is 2014 already, get over it!
She looks NOTHING like Katy Perry! Taylor is so down to earth and smart to listen to, I completely adore her.
I never saw it either
The way he asked questions was very rude
she is so pretty! and i couldnt stop staring at her eye makeup!
She is absolutely gorgeous 😍
she is so cool go Taylor! :)
She's so beautiful. I mean, inside and out she's gorgeous.
Hey DailyXtra just a question about "all the lesbian stuff"…lets say that the show took place in a christian church and it was talking about the relationship of the straight couples that go to church…would you ask her about all "that straight stuff"…she is an actress, she can't be disgusted by lesbian scenes like you are, if she is professional and if the character is rich she will do it regardless..but she gave you a great answer she also doesn't see as "lesbian stuff" but a love story.
- she looks exactly like Katy perry
She kissed a girl and she liked it ;)
i dont know why but i find Taylor sexier than Katy Perry!!!
me encantan las escenas de taylor y laura uuuyyy son tan candentes que quiero mas de ellas
LOVE TAYLOR , SHE IS REALY ACTRESS.
just me or everyone see Taylor looks like Katy Perry? i mean ... a lot! :v
Respostas inteligentes, para perguntas idiotas! Graciosa Taylor schilling ❤️🇧🇷
Yeah lol. Well said.
They confirmed that laura is going to be on season 2 on hollywood access :p
She looks stunning!
"Sexual orientation and gender identification are irrelevant". Who are you kidding? Yourself, maybe. The world at large, never. And a woman being directed by a woman is certainly different to that same woman being directed by a man. What woman director and what man matter, of course. Everything matters and absolutely nothing is irrelevant, including all the self-told lying going on, even by the actresses themselves. They must be aware that their lesbian characters are a huge come-on.
The interviewer hits on all the "sore" spots, lesbianism, nude lesbian love scenes, female -- Jodie Foster!! -- direction because they ARE sore. I may agree w those commenters on here that say so what? But tell that to mainstream America, to mainstream anywhere! Be real about it. He is, imo, being real about it. He even states that everyone is talking about those subjects. And he is so obviously intelligent that I have to smile at those who see him and his questions as stupid. It's a relatively short interview too. Taylor's evasion and making other points are also valid.
It's like the British series LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX, where there are a lesbian couple AND an ageing straight couple who "star". But why is everyone (& maybe their mother) watching it? For the ageing couple who discover passion for the first time, as touching as that is? No, for the lesbian couple. Some commenters say of one of the actresses playing a (reluctant too) lesbian that this is her best role ever. Maybe, but she's always been fabulous and continues to be in her present thriller series. Of course, actors grow, but wow every time with Sarah Lancashire.
Its shocking how so many interviews only focus on the "Lesbian" relationships and the nudity on the show. 😒
Looking foward to new movie titan 2019 ☺
I truly wish they didn't wait so long to make the second series
She totally dodged the question about weather Prepon has even been on the set. This makes me think all the more, that Laura Prepon is leaving. They wont discuss that, because they want people to still watch OITNB. An while it sucks that she may very well NOT be back on the set of OITNB. As they say in show business, the show must go on, and it will. I'll still watch it. I'll be a little disappointed but I'll still watch. I want to see what happens to Piper now that she beat the shit out of Pennsatucky, and if Pennsatucky gets her new teeth now, and what happens with Red and Daya and Bennet.
There's no need to speculate, they already confirmed that Prepon is leaving the show after she finishes up her storyline.
Thanks, do you have the link? I'd like to see it if you do.
Thanks
Taylor is beautiful in every way. She’s an amazing woman.
Taylor is soo cute 💕🤧
SLAMMED IT WITH THE GENDER ROLES BAE
