BETTY GABRIEL

I think people let their guards down when they think that they're not being intimidated or they're not being threatened.

Theater actually took time to pique my interest. It just wasn't a part of my upbringing. I don't have anyone in the arts in my family. I wasn't brought up particularly cultured. It was always TV and film for me.

There's just always going to be both positives and negatives to any evolution that we're a part of. And there's really no stopping the evolution of technology. There has been more and more integration in our daily lives, so we become more and more dependent on it.

I want to have fun and be a diva - a kind-hearted diva!

I truly hope that we can evolve with technology, and use it for the benefit of all mankind, but history might suggest otherwise.

Westworld' was its own treat and its own enigma. It was a great experience, but I definitely was not privy to a lot of things on that show.

I find the horror genre quite challenging. That's not to say everything I've done has been straight horror - a lot of them have been more on the thriller side. But regardless, I find it the most challenging as an actor to create sheer anxiety and terror out of nowhere because there's nothing scary going on and you have to act like it is.

I like to be very physical: Any sort of fight sequence is a dream to me.

I think there is a lot of technology that is finding its way into our storytelling - it's pretty unavoidable.

Predominantly I've worked with Blumhouse, and they've been really great to me. We are extremely grateful for employment. But maybe my dark soul attracts these darker, horrifying stories. But I don't particularly close myself off to any employment - any stories, I should say.

I met Angela Bassett during the awards circuit. I was actually surprised at how moved I was to meet her in person. I was moved to tears. I find that feeling, it's happened occasionally, and I never know who it'll be with.

We are a very polarised country.

Genre is great and I love sci-fi.

Television, nowadays, is like doing really long films.

I would love to do a musical. Put that in the universe! A rom-com musical!

As an actor, it was great to work with Harry Lloyd because he's wicked smart, and he is very kind.

I don't love horror, I respect it as a genre.

I'd love to see a woman host the Oscars.

I think that as kids we all picture ourselves as the princess, the prince, and not really ever as the housekeeper or the comical alpaca or llama or what have you - the sidekick. But as an adult, I'm such a huge fan of people who are funny and people who are, in very brief moments, able to do something that you would never think is possible.

I'm humble, because I live quite humbly.

Your home is your sanctuary. You need to make it a place you love to be in.

I'm not making millions here, and because I'm a Capricorn I save up. You have to save for winter.

Yes, people can crack under pressure, but I think people can also let things slip out when they're comfortable.

I feel like Blumhouse has really taking a liking to me and it's awesome.

My dad was an army cook, so I sort of come from that. But, working on 'Westworld,' a lot of the guys who I'm rolling up in there with, they're actually ex-military people.
