![]() ![]() I'm sure I'm stepping off the trodden path and going off the beaten trail-beaten meaning multiple definitions-but that's okay because nothing has a linear perfection to it, which I'm also learning as I age. And if I'm maybe walking along that path, then I'm quite happy to be strolling in that direction. I think perhaps if it is expressed more articulately, then it wouldn't turn into something aggressive and violent. I'm not particularly fond of violence in any shape or form-I'm a bit of a pacifist at heart-but I have to say that expressing one's anger does have a place. It's a bit of a sham, really, how we're portrayed and how we've been portrayed historically for so very long, but I'm quite thrilled to be approached by other women, which is quite a new phenomenon for me. GA: I hate to classify myself as anything that would guide anyone anywhere, God forbid, but I do think anytime a woman gets to be in the public eye and not be a victim and not be subservient in any shape or form is a coup. SR: It seems like the character of Fiona sends a positive message to women, whether they're 15 or 50. If I can do that and tighten my buttocks at the same time, I'm a happy camper. I like that sort of nightclub feel without the cigarette smoke, the alcohol and the lurid looks. Blige singing, "Get off your butt," basically. There's a class that I take in Los Angeles that's been very inspiring because it involves loud music that's a lot of fabulous tempo and rhythm-and Mary J. It takes a tremendous amount of willpower to move my body in any shape or form. I do a lot of yoga, but exercise is not my friend. If I do feel intuitively that it's not my place, that it's way beyond my means, I'll willingly back down and hand the baton over to a woman who knows what she's doing. And I don't think you can employ an adolescent in a stunt role, as far as I know. GA: I do tend to do my own stunts because I'm quite petite, so it's very difficult to find a capable stunt woman who resembles my sort of pre-pubescent figure. Do you do your own stunts, and how do you stay in shape? I'm sure if you were to ask other actresses, they'd have lots of other tales to tell, but I must have a very discerning chemical need. I often find that it's more in that vein than that sort of electrifying, sexual, sensual, hormonal explosion that happens. ![]() ![]() Where the chemistry isn't quite as exciting as it may have once been, but you can work at those moments. Oftentimes, the dynamic between an actor and oneself is like a marriage after a few years. That's the kind of chemistry that audiences always seem to gravitate toward in romances on the screen, be it small or big screen. Hopefully there's that sort of electric chemistry that one experiences when you first meet somebody that you're very attracted to. GA: To me, it's always kind comparable to real-life relationships. Does chemistry like that just happen, or is it something you really have to work at? SR: You and actor Jeffrey Donovan have a great chemistry, which is part of the reason this show is so fun. ![]()
