Merritt Wever

“Theater has always been terrifying to me.”

“I wish feminism wasn't so scary to people. It should be an evolving concept. I think it's an umbrella term to embrace conflicting ideas.”

“Saying good-bye on 'Nurse Jackie' was a really big deal, so I'm sure I was keeping myself guarded from ever having to feel anything like that again on another job, especially a death scene.”

“I have to do some mental gymnastics as an actor sometimes, to remember not to let certain things in.”

“I think that I do my best work when I'm most comfortable.”
