Season 1[]

When they asked me to audition for Jessica, I disconnected with it. She’s supposed to be a pretty, popular teenager, and in my head, just from being brainwashed from all these breakdowns growing up, it’s a blonde girl with blue eyes. But since Brian [Yorkey, who adapted to book for TV] and all of them are so inclusive with their casting, they didn’t even think about it. It was my first time being able to be separated from being someone’s best friend, or being the butt of the joke, or an accessory. It was a dream come true for me. I didn’t expect it to come that fast

Season 2[]

That was a very, very hard day. Um, funny story, though. While we were- [interrupted by Brian Yorkey laughing, then joins in] -While we were filming, I'm, like, naked and then I'm not. And then I'm running out of the dressing room and I'm like "Ah!". And then all the sirens are going off, the alarms are going off and.. We're filming in a live mall and there's people there, and this woman and her daughter come up to me while we're filming, and there's like-- There's cameras around us. And she goes, "Are you okay? Like, do you want me to call--?" [Audience laughs]- No the first thing she says is, "Do you want me to call the police?" And I'm like-- And I'm like-- [grunts, chuckles], No. And I walk away and then people are like, "We're filming." And her expression was just priceless, like, she was so genuinely concerned.
[Elaine Welteroth: At least you knew your performance was convincing.]
Yeah, yeah!
