Oh my good God _damn_.
[…E]ven if you’ve waited ten hours to do your scene in your little trailer, and you come out at 2 in the morning to finally work, it doesn’t matter that it’s 2 in the morning, it doesn’t matter that you’re tired or hungry or your makeup is driving you crazy – because what is about to be filmed will be watched and will be important and will have something to say. So you gotta bring it!
Loved this spread about Nana Visitor in the February 1998 Starlog. Here are a couple highlights from her interview.
On Deep Space Nine maybe not doing so great in the ratings:
"I love lots of lemon juice in my vinaigrette because it tastes strong, but it will put some people off the entire salad. I don’t know how else to describe it. You can’t please all the people all the time. That’s really how I feel about Deep Space Nine. The more you please everybody, the more you are pabulum. I would rather be a tasty vinaigrette than everyone’s favourite dressing. We stand out a little more. We make you think a little more. We’re a little more controversial."
On working while pregnant:
"For me, personally, it has been a great experience. I’ll forever appreciate that they made it easy for me when I was pregnant with Django. That meant a lot to me. They kept me in the stories and went out of their way to work me into the storylines, to shoot me in close-ups."
And on Kira (I seriously love this quote):
"We saw Kira mostly be a warrior in the early days and we’ve seen her evolve into this kind of sensitive, very loving person who feels an enormous amount of pain. I would like to see her using all of her faculties, all of her emotions. I would like to see her be a warrior with a baby in one hand and a phaser in the other. I would like to see her do itallnow, and not just one or the other from episode to episode.”
arlessiar asked:
Oh, my God.
a) Thank you, arlessiar, you’re amazing;
b) I’m going to go die of cute.
So apparently Alexander Siddig and Nana Visitor did a panel together at Fedcon 2014 and I would like some details please.
