| BM: Have you ever been asked any really stupid questions by an interviewer? Other than this moment of course. EC: I'm sure I have, and it's been so stupid that I've just blocked it out. Usually, the questions are topical. There have been random questions that have been nothing to do with the project, for a piece on something else - they ask a hundred different people who the sexiest men are in Hollywood. I've sometimes been aske stuff like that. BM: This is probably a tough question to answer. considering there are so many now, but do you have a favourite Anya moment? EC: There are so many great one-liners with her. It's impossible. I got a great fan letter the other day. This guy was kind enough to type out his favourite Anya one-liners. There are probably four pages of these great quotes from her. So many of them I'd completely forgotten; I started in season three and its season five now, so theres been a decent amount of time to accrue a litany of Anya-isms. I loved the Thanksgiving episode, where she talked about Thanksgiving being a ritual sacrifice with pie. It was just so straight and to the point. I loved when Anya got dressed up in the bunny suit. That was so endearing. It was the first time she really tried, and again, she tried so hard that she was off-the-mark. She definitely comes from a good place all the time, but at the same time, she's horribly misguided. BM: When you open a script, are you always blown away? Are you just drooling over the lines? EC: I can't wait. It's such a joy, this character. I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to be surrounded by such talent. It's hard to come by; it's so rare. The amount of scripts that I've readcover the years, and they're just horrible. After the season finale of last season, with the dreams, I thought it could never get any better than that. Then here's another script, and it keeps getting better and better. Just when I wonder how to start playing Anya differently, they do something completely wacky and it's like "Okay, start shifting in another direction". "It just keeps on growing." |
