Brewer: "Step outside your comfort zone because that's the only way you're going to grow."
Brewer: "It is one of the most ignorant things you can do to a person, to say they're nuts or they're crazy. It diminishes the layers of who they are as a person."
Brewer: "Any story about a powerful woman owning herself in any way is automatically deemed feminist."
Brewer: "I try to take my emotional pulse more now, to recognize when I need to go scream and cry for 20 minutes and then come back to center. Allowing yourself that time, it's a gift."
Brewer: "I am 150 percent the first person to say it: I am a feminist through and through."
Brewer: "For some people, makeup is their war paint; that's putting their best foot forward. Others feel better with no makeup. It's so personal - who are we to judge?"
Brewer: "Always be kind, especially in times when it seems like everyone is giving up on each other. Love harder."
Brewer: "We want to make legislation; we want to put laws on women's uteruses and whether or not they can protect themselves from pregnancy or whatever, but we don't want to protect you once you're pregnant."
Brewer: "I'm definitely a homebody, so when I have an emotional day on set, I have to go home, take a bath, and go to bed."
Brewer: "When I first read the scenes I got to audition, I just could tell there was obviously something there. The writing speaks for itself, but also it's just the fact that 'The Handmaid's Tale' is such an amazing story. I had never read the book before I auditioned."
Brewer: "You can't turn individual human beings into baby-making machines."
