Going back to 'The 100' is something I definitely wanted to do because the show is so great, and I'm so grateful to be part of it.

I did watch the whole run of 'The Walking Dead.'

With any sort of minority, issues of ostracization or misrepresentation are clearly rampant. It's just so deeply rooted in our culture, and there are so many levels that it trickles down from.

Teen fandom is so potent. Any choice they make in pop culture forces the rest of the world to take notice.

When you're placed in a world where survival is the main focus, a lot of that other stuff, like wrongdoings in the past, become obsolete. You have to focus on the here and now.

At first, I was saying to my rep, 'I don't know if this is really my thing.' I get heart palpitations just watching basic comedy-horror stuff.

You don't often get a choice in who your enemies are, who you're friends with, what your situation is, and the environment you're placed in. You just have to make do with what you have.

L.A. and America, in general, have this incredible hustle about them. There's this sense of momentum.

I did go to a performing arts school, so that facilitated my creativity, though I ended up going in a more musical direction.

I studied classical percussion for ten years.

Usually with something like 'The 100,' because you're working so much and every day, and they'll change the drafts quite quickly, we'll go through maybe, like, 12 different versions of the same scene over a week. So there is no point in learning it on a Tuesday when on a Thursday it might be completely different.

I was on Instagram or something, and I checked my tagged photos, and I realized that suddenly they were all LGBT artwork. I was like, 'Oh, my God!' I had no idea. It was the first time I realized I was a figure for that community.

People are so passionate... Now that I have discovered Twitter, it's become so fun that people are really into this 'Clexa' thing, and there's such a great response to their relationship.

I'm not a person who's obsessed with scary movies or horror films or anything like that, so when I was watching the original 'Walking Dead,' I was kind of surprised at how into it I was getting.
Alycia Debnam-Carey -
I hated L.A. when I first got here. Hated it.

Comic-Con is my jam!

That's bizarre to see, L.A., downtown, and to feel like you're the only person there.

I went on YouTube and saw videos of Angelina Jolie on some talk show showing people switchblade tricks, and I was like, 'That's what I want to do.'

Film is a lot different. You have the whole script in its entirety, and you have a couple of weeks to learn different scenes, really go over them and rehearse them so when you get to them they're more fleshed out. But TV shows are harder.

When I was younger, I could get that white-knuckle grip of holding on to an idea and not wanting to let it go.
Alycia Debnam-Carey -
I've got good intuition.

I hadn't thought about that before, this passionate following, with fan fiction and artwork. At first it felt like an invasion of privacy, but then I realized it's nice that the character can be shared.

While working in a group is great, on-set especially, it means you just don't get to see the characters one-on-one.
