Have you been given any ideas of her
arc at all?
Ideas, yes. And I have my own suspicions but I don't know
what I can say without losing that job. They don't like
it when you give-it's such a difficult position because
I want to give you stuff and I want to make you happy and
I want to give you the interview that you want, but at the
same time I don't want to lose my job.
Also, then, just mess up or get it wrong. Because, to be
honest, I know things, but I don't think I really know all
of it. Because I've actually asked to not know past a certain
point because I don't want it to color or affect my performance
in a subliminal way, subconscious way.
Is one of the projects you can't talk about, is that
Haunted High that's coming up?
No, no, I can talk about that. I'll be in Haunted High
with Danny Trejo.
Can you kind of give us an idea of who you play and
all that?
Well, I did find out that Machete does tweet. So now I
follow him. I don't even think he goes by Danny Trejo anymore.
I think he's straight up Machete and I'm really okay with
that. He is an amazing man. He's so amazing and he looks
so fit. And then he's on my other favorite show, Sons of
Anarchy. It's just ridiculous. The man is so accomplished.
He just is everywhere. I love him. He's a doll. He's bad
to the bone.
I want to be him sometimes. Like I imagine like, what
would Danny do? What would-because like if I could embody
him, it would be really nice sometimes. Can you shoot me
out? I'm tired. Who's going to say no to Machete?
In talking about the resemblance between you and Alexandra
Chando and we definitely have a theory that you are the
twins' real mother. Can you kind of comment on that?
Well, I mean, obviously I'm wondering too. It would seem
that I am, but I don't know if I'm a red herring in that
really we haven't met her yet at all. I don't know. I kind
of hope I am. It would be nice to be around awhile. But
I don't know for sure. They haven't told me. We only suspect.
And also, who is the father? If I am the mom, then who-which
one is it because apparently I've had relations. I was a
bit of a get around girl. All I can tell you is that my
feeling is the adults are really going to have some time.
They're going to have their time and they're going to be
competing hard for that storyline for the younger kids.
The younger kids are very compelling and it's the demographic
and all that, but if you are a grown up and you are watching
this show, you will have your own storyline and you will
be into it. I have every intention of making it super interesting
for you.
Would you ever consider going on Bones and if
so, who would you like to play?
I hear such wonderful things about that set. I have friends
that have worked on the set. I'm friends with David Striver.
His name is Hershey. He drove us on Angel. We have
breakfast at least once a month together and I am in touch
with David and we have tweeted about doing episodes, Julie
and I doing episodes of Bones.
I just don't know if it'll-I think it's been brought up
to the executive producers and ultimately, if you are Bones
fans and you want to see some crossovers, I'm totally absolutely
game. I'm in love with David, I mean not in love-that could
be totally misconstrued.
I adore him. He's like my brother. I know him really,
really well. I love him so much. Julie and I, she's one
of my closest friends. For us to all kind of get together
again and play, whether independently or all together, would
just be so much fun.
And I really want to work with Emily because I hear wonderful
things about her. Like she's one of the nicest people around
and she and David have such wonderful chemistry. I want
to meet this woman. I want to meet this person that has
been so wonderful to my friend.
Do you have a preference to between working in TV or
film?
Yes, of course, I would love to do more film and I will
be doing more film. I can't tell you any more than that
but I do really-my heart is into television just because
it's been so good to me. I've had the joy of working on
critically acclaimed shows and that kind of thing. Unfortunately,
those shows aren't always in the Golden Globe or Emmy nominated
categories, which kind of bums me out because they are really
good quality shows.
 But,
yes, television is my home to me and I like-it's a special
breed of person that can do that kind of nine months on
and three months off; 22 episodes of one-hour shows, it's
very hard work. It's a grind. It can be a grind. It's not
a grind for me. I relish in that. But there are very few
of us that can handle that; that are movie people.
Movie people going over into television, it's a little
bit of a shocking world. It's much faster paced. Everything
is really last minute. You won't know your schedule for
the next episode until the last minute. You don't know if
you're going to be off for Christmas, or what the date is.
But for me, it's familiar and it's good to me and I like
having a steady job and all that goes along with that.
There were rumors this past year about a Buffy
remake, what do you feel about that?
Right, I get asked that a lot. I talk about it on Twitter
a lot because it inevitably makes it on my line, my timeline.
My feeling is of course, they're doing it. It was successful,
but to do it without Joss (Whedon), it's just going to be
really disappointing.
I feel like it could do more harm to the franchise than
good in a way, just because-or not, maybe it'll make people
appreciate the original more. I don't know. But it doesn't
make much sense to do that without any of the key players
involved. Why call it Buffy? They should just call
it something else because it's not going to be the same
thing.
What are your favorite Christmas and holiday traditions?
Well, one of my favorite traditions, which is just to my
family alone, we have what's called "Faux Christmas"
the week before Christmas with my dad and my stepmom. Because
when you have a large family like I do and we're all married
and all around the country, it's impossible because you're
married and it's my spouse's family's house this weekend
or it's this holiday or Thanksgiving. What we try to do
is we, no matter what, do faux Christmas which is the week
before so we can all get together either at my house or
my brother's house or my dad's house and his wife's house.
And then on the actual holiday, then we can go to the appropriate
house for that winter. Because we all love each other so
much and we want to be together but we know that we have
to split our time, so to keep together every single year
we celebrate Christmas one week before. And then we go to
Australia to visit a family there. And then my brother's
wife's family is in Tucson, so she'll get to stay with her
mom and nobody's left out.
You were in Deadly Sibling Rivalry with Kyle
Richards and I was wondering if you watched Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills or any reality T.V. shows?
I did not watch that show. I was not happy about that
casting at all because it was going to be a difficult shoot.
It was to be shot in, I don't know, 16, 18 days. I really
wanted to make sure whoever was on the set was like going
to be a trained actor and good at their job and take it
seriously and that there wasn't going to be any kind of
shenanigans. Reality T.V. shenanigans are round the job
at hand. I was a little peeved, I've got to say.
She showed up and she won me over in the first five seconds.
She's smart. She's professional. Whatever expectation I
had in my head, Beverly Hills housewives, I didn't know.
I didn't know and I could not-When she performed, I believed
her. I was really happy with her choice. In fact, I thought
she did a really good job, but at first I was really reluctant
with that cast.
I mean, I don't have a say in those things; who's cast,
who's not cast. But I understand the need to make something
more mainstream or more marketable and get the distribution
that they need to make it successful financially for the
investors. I get all that and how that works, but that really
bummed me out that they went the reality T.V. route because
I'm a little bitter about that whole reality T.V. thing.
A little bit.
Do you have any New Year's resolutions?
I do. Some more personal than others, but I really want
to practice not cussing; cursing at all. Definitely with
this job, if we get picked up and I have to stay working
in Austin, to try to make a bigger effort to be more consistent
with my training, working out.
I have a lot of New Year's resolutions. More saving, make
better choices in that regard. Travel, but making more time
for the family. More timeouts, just re-appropriate my spending.
Whatever I do, maybe whatever was important to me in my
20s, like I want to have three Fendi bags, or I want a Chloe
bag, or whatever the in thing was. Okay, let's not buy three
Fendi bags at $2200 a pop. Let's instead like sock that
away, save it, and then oh, we have a little extra money.
Why don't we go up to Whistler and have a family ski trip?
I want to go to Montana. I want to spend time in Montana.
I got plans. I want to brand out; brand out like sell out.
Who says that? So bad. But I want to sell out. I want my
own perfume line. I have some ideas about beauty regimen
and care and that sort of thing. Those are the things that
I think a book should be written about. I have some stuff
to say. I got some stuff on my mind. I would like to get
started on those things.
