Alycia Debnam-Carey

“My whole philosophy has been to let the work speak for itself, because that's really what you want to show.”

“Comic-Con is my jam!”

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

“When I was younger, I could get that white-knuckle grip of holding on to an idea and not wanting to let it go.”

“I would love to do something with space. I'm obsessed with it. I just can't stop reading about it or watching videos about it or listening to TED Talks about it.”

“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.”

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

“In L.A., it's not on the surface. Everything is in the cracks. The restaurant out front will look like this old, boring place, and you'll go inside, and it's this lush, beautifully designed restaurant.”

“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 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.'”

“I started to let go and seeing that there are no rules.”

“Watch 'Fear the Walking Dead,' because we'd love your support, but I think 'The 100' is such a great show; it was a great show before I got there. It's only getting better, and I'm so lucky I got to be a part of it.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The moment the world falls apart, you start forgetting history and wrongdoings in the past.”

“I think of how much I've learned from doing television, and it is so invaluable.”

“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.”

“It's funny, I often think about how, if we were all placed in an apocalyptic situation, you'd realize quickly how stupid, petty things just don't matter anymore. Who you love is who you love, and it doesn't matter.”

“Having no expectations is a really good thing.”
