Natasha Lyonne is so fantastic in Orange is the New Black as the lesbian junkie Nichols. She talked with Collider about how much she knew about her character before signing on for the job:
What’s amazing about getting someone like Jenji [Kohan] as the mind behind the scenes is that, somebody that has a mind like that, the way to draw you in, as a viewer or as someone reading the scripts on a week-to-week basis, is that as soon as I think I know who someone is, all of a sudden, there’s a belly underneath it. The interesting trick of comedy, in a lot of ways, is to have both the comedy and the grounding of the real thing. You get a real sense of a human being. It may be a human being who goes by some sort of flashy moniker, in order to present as a tough guy, in the kind of society they’re living in, but you find out why they are the way they are. That was really fun to discover. Each week, we would all be hustling to get the advance of next week’s script. I’ve never done a television show before, but you become addicted to the story. As a viewer, you want to know more. And this is a huge story. I can’t believe the world that they’ve built, and how many different microcosm there are within the prison. Everyone has self-named themselves. You want to learn about the whole world, and just when you think it’s going to go a certain way, you discover something else. That’s been really fun.Goldfrapp has a new short film directed by Allison’s GF Lisa Gunning. It’s sexy and NSFW!
