came great josh love storyline
Josh Becker came up with this really great storyline for a movie that we'd all love to do,
covering footage rolling sidekick within
I really was covering things. They really were going to use the footage that I and my sidekick were taking. Sometimes he was on the camera, sometimes I had the camera, but we were really rolling video. We were making a film within a film.
tongue comedy shows
We actually did quite a lot of comedy on 'Xena'. The whole show was very tongue-in-cheek.
girl honor use
Up until I came here this week, and I met so many women and young girls who feel, to use their word - and I'm a bit embarrassed, but it's a good word - empowered, by watching. I realized this isn't a burden, this is an honor.
mother children play
I've often wanted to play the victim, or somebody who makes terrible choices. I would love to play the alcoholic mother who horribly lets down her children. That's a great morally imperiled role.
daughter commitment opera
When you decide to become an opera singer, it's a commitment that allows nothing else to interfere. Even your family - and I have a young daughter - has to take second place.
people sides shock
My plan is to shock people with what I can do, because I've got a few sides to me that I've never used on screen.
fun lucky break-out
I just look at what's the most fun thing I can do next. I'm not looking to prove anything, or to break out or to break away. I feel so lucky, honestly, that I'm still working.
running thinking people
I think the people running climate change denial campaigns are sociopaths.
nice world littles
I get to do all these really nice, little culty things. It seems to be the world that keeps inviting me back.
real vampire flesh
There will be hoards of vampire bats descending on Beverly Hills.... We'll see if they can find any real flesh to puncture. I don't know.
character play way
It's never very useful to see your character as a villain. You have to play them the way they see themselves.
sex two different
Nudity and sex scenes are two completely different things. Nudity you can kind of get used to, but not when there is movement and relating involved. The sex scenes are very uncomfortable because that's something to be protected, so you have a visceral reaction to not exploit that.
children violence enjoy
I'm not someone who ever enjoys violence against women or children.
