What you find challenging about your role?
Michelle Trachtenberg: I think its probably more challenging to make sure that all of our medical situations are 100% accurate. We do have medical experts on set which is very helpful. Making sure that combining the medical challenges with the emotion is probably the biggest challenge and making sure it's all on par and that we're honoring real life nurses.
Veronica has a really interesting back story; I just wanted to know what's the best part of playing her for you?
Taylor Schilling: That's a great question. I think the most enjoyable part as an actor is how deeply I can go into Veronica's world and her story because the writers have provided me with such a rich history for her. So there's never a dull moment; even the most kind of banal scene has a lot going on.
Chloe is so new to everything. Do you hope that as the season goes on she becomes tougher or do you enjoy the innocence and the reality of her insecurities now?
Michelle Trachtenberg: Chloe is a interesting dynamic because she is a 25 year old woman who did graduate top of her class so inherently I believe she is incredibly intelligent and I do believe she has a lot of experience in her life but sometimes she's just a little cautious or scared to really go forth on things.
It's definitely something that we are working on with Chloe. She is going to grow more confident as life - as you do in life. I mean, human beings experience things for the first time and they learn and then they move on. And Chloe will grow, you know, just as if anyone in real life would.
Do you think Veronica's relationship with Dr. Harris will be changing a lot or after you've bonded over his wife's death things will kind of go back to normal?
Taylor Schilling: I think that Veronica and Dr. Harris actually have a lot in common even - and I think that sometimes those are the people you clash with the most, the ones that you sort of see yourself in but you don't quite want to acknowledge that; it might not be the best parts of yourself.
But I actually think that they're quite a team. I think that there's a really rich dynamic to explore because they are so opposite and so incredibly similar. So I think that that may have bonded them into a deeper relationship.
Are either one of you on any social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook and do you think that it helps promote your different projects?
Michelle Trachtenberg: I am not on Facebook. I am not on Twitter. There is a million fakes and it super pisses me off as some of my friends start to believe them like “hey I'm following you on Twitter.” It's like “dude I'm really not on Twitter.” I'm so not computer-advanced. I barely just got a laptop this year. I wouldn't even know how to start.
I pretty much only know how to use my Blackberry and that's a miracle within itself. So please feel free to broadcast that everywhere. Facebook and Twitter, it's not me, it's some crazy person. And don't pay attention to them. There you go, that's my campaign.
Taylor Schilling: I'm actually not on either of those sites. I can't really figure it out to be honest. So I don't know maybe someday I'll have someone give me a tutorial and sort of get into it.
