Exclamation CC's interview (8/31)

Well, guys, here's a new interview of The Lady
It's a five page articule
I'm still reading it, so no quotes or comments still
Here's the link
http://tv.ign.com/articles/729/729698p1.html

ETA: she mostly talks about her new movie, Relative Chaos, but also about Angel, DB, VM, and some moments of Angel..... Nothing about new projects

Here are some parts:

Quote:
IGN TV: There's still so much Buffy and Angel merchandise coming out, and this fall I believe, there's several new Cordelia action figures.

CC: Finally! I totally got pushed to the side. You know, I wonder if they're doing a pregnant one…

IGN TV: I don't think they are, but I saw pictures of the ones that are coming.

Carpenter: [Laughs] No, I did [too]. They're coming out with three dolls. I had to approve them.
..... That's class, ladies and gentlemen

About DB (that question came some days ago in another thread)
Quote:
CC: (talking about the last shows WB will air) Oh wow! So David Boreanaz and myself are in the pilots for Buffy and Angel… I saw him today at the gym. That's so funny.

IGN TV: Oh, do you see him much at the gym?

CC: I don't see him much at the gym, but we'll bump into each other at the Grove or we'll see each other periodically and I'll call Jamie, his wife, and we'll compare notes for our kids and stuff. Not often - I don't mean to make it sound like we're best buds - but we're very civil and love each other
And about You're welcome, she's talking about how she got the news about Cordy's dead and says something about the DVD comments
Quote:
CC:...If anybody gets the Angel DVDs, then you get the bonus [footage] where we're all interviewed. Then I saw the episode "You're Welcome" and I listened to the commentary. And it kind of bummed me out that the people that are on it with David Fury are Christian Kane and Sarah Thompson. They're talking with David Fury through that and I was kind of bummed. I wish they would have had David [Boreanaz] and I talking about it with David Fury or Joss, because it was a really big send off and it kind of just didn't feel like that was the episode they would put [Christian and Sarah on], because it was so about Angel and Cordelia
And there's a lot more, the movie sounds fun too

That was honestly one of the best interviews I've ever read. Thoughtful, and very sweet. Charisma really does seem so genuine, and very generous to her costars and crew members.

*sigh* That made me happy.

ETA: For which I should have said, thanks so much for the link!!

Thanks so much for the link, totally great interview.

Quote:
You know, there's always the Buffy and Angel love; that first love. And then there's this kind of love that was just history and friendship and coming to each others rescue and total, utter trust and sincerity and honesty. And accepting of each others bad faults, like, you know, "You're a vampire… Oops!" [Laughs] And me like, "You're selfish and self-centered… Oops. But I still love you." Totally accepting each other for each others character defects and loving each other.
At least she gets it. Can't say the same for the rest of the A:ts cast and crew but CC got it.

Quote:
Bittersweet-happy. I was really sad that she died, and I didn't want to come back for the 100th episode if she was going to die. And I kind of got a little hoodwinked into that. Because then, after I agreed to do it, they were like, "Yeah, we're gonna kill her." And I started to cry. I was like, "No! I specifically did not want to come back for her to be killed!" I didn't know what they were going to do or what they had in mind and then I was really resentful
F*%@ers..and asshat come to mind

Yeah, that was a total d!ck move...btw are we allowed to curse here? I forget.

You know, I really can't wait for a CC/NB reunion. Heck, I might even tune in for the "pilot" night...at least Dawson's Creek and Angel

IGN TV: Can you talk at all about what role your character might be playing this season?

Carpenter: A little more of the same, with a really, really interesting twist. And it starts the first episode; you've got to watch it. You miss the first episode, you're out of the loop. Gotta tune in right away.
maybe i'm just reading too much into it, but it sure sounds like she will be in more than one episode

Fantastic read. Thanks for the link!

I'm so glad to see her opinions on C/A and YW. Very enlightening for me. I also love that she was so honest about the DVD commentary. It totally should have been her and DB doing it and at least now we know CC wasn't asked to do it and turned it down (as could have been the case). It was just typical asshatian behavior.

Charisma has always stood out to me among all the BtVS/AtS cast (and in fact, the casts of most shows) for her ability to discuss the show with a real feel for the characters and storylines. Not that an actor has to do that - DB was always pretty open about not watching the show - but it's nice.

Thank you, Charisma, for saying first instead of only, forever or true. You made my friggin' year.

I agree, jerry. I also thought it was nice that she was honest about TiVOing old eps of her own show. So many times you hear, "Oh, I never watch myself" or "I never watch that show; I've moved on from that role".

She is great and lovely!

Have to read the interview later, but thanks for posting it!

Someone should send the interview to JW and maybe also DB.

ETA: The reason why they didn´t let David and CC speak about/on YW, I think it is the same reason they brought Spike and Buffy back into the mix/show. They can´t upset the B/A-shippers

She was, is, and ever shall be freakin' awesome.

Great interview, very honest and insightful. But what makes me sad is how you can tell that they really hurt her feelings over the Cordy and YW thing. Bastards.

Thanks for posting the link, v.

God, I love her. She really has the most class of any actress I know. And I love that she gets along with David's wife, how cute is that! She always speaks so highly of Sarah as well, though I always wondered if she was like an outcast within that set because CC and the rest of them seemed so close and seemed to get along so well. Shall remain a mystery I guess.

Thanks for the link! It was well worth the read.

Thanks for the link! That was a great interview. What always strikes me about CC's interviews is that she is deceptively well-spoken - combined with what appears to be a genuine sense of laid-back fun about her. The Angelina Jolie/True Hollywood Story line was too funny!

I've said it before, but it can't hurt to say it again - I can't wait until someone recognizes her potential and casts her in her own television series.

Since I'm on vacation, I could go to other sites: she's getting a great response for this interview!!!!!!.

What I, honestly, didn't like it was that almost all the people keep comparing DB's attitude towards ATS with CC's one: Not one comment (or some joke or indirect about it) like here, but making long posts about that (like in Slayerverse), praising CC and putting down DB . I think they're in differents possitions: for CC it's clear in the past and there's no way to come back because Cordelia is dead ( and because the rumors about why and how she left made that impossible, IMO). For DB it must be annoying being asked all the time about an Angel movie. I don't think that annoys AA and JM because they're closer to Joss and they mostly talk about the Buffyverse in their interviews, but I think Boreanaz must be tired about hearing the same when he's doing another show and promoting it...

Well except that, I liked a lot the comments I read about this interview
