Moriarty has an interest in astrology. Her sign is Cancer, and she revealed in an interview with The Steve Varley Show that she exhibits a lot of Cancer traits "I would say the traits of a cancer, there are certain things that are applicable that I can't deny, but they feel more personal than work oriented. Do you know what I mean? And I will take things that resonate and leave the rest. So it's not something I abide by as a religion, but I'm interested in it."

She Spoke Up

Moriarty isn't afraid to speak up about what she is comfortable with on set. In an interview with Karen Fukukara, she talked about how she spoke out against a costume for her character. "Starlight's original costume, which we call Starlight 1.0. And the other one, the jargon that we use internally on set is the one that is more revealing. We call Starlight 2.0. And I just like the original one because to me, whenever you're in a costume, the second one that is objectifying and intentionally. So just me as a human being, inherently I'm automatically going to have a bias against it. And the original one is hers and it reflects to me her kind of true self. And so I like the original one more. There are pros and cons to both in terms of comfortability."
