There must be something in the air lately. For months (or years?) you don't read any interviews with Michelle Forbes, and then, suddenly, they appear. Marcel Damen had the opportunity to talk to Michelle during the FedCon convention held in Bonn (Germany) in April 2008.

 "First of all, before I begin that, I would like to correct something. I was misquoted there. I said "authoritative and severe women," because I think, unfortunately, this word "strong," as in "strong female character," and "strong women," they never say that in regards to men, you know. Every woman I know in life is strong, and both men and women, our strengths are equal to our weaknesses. Our vulnerabilities, I should say. Our strengths are equal to our vulnerabilities. That's very important - not "weakness," but "vulnerability." I think in general, you always have to be careful: when they write these "severe women," they tend to be very one-dimensional. I really try to steer away from that. Or, if I get one of those one-dimensional roles, you work so hard to bring other dimensions to them, to make them real, to find the vulnerability."

“Penelope’s really quite different from anyone I’ve played. There’s a strain of that rage and frustration I’ve felt in other characters but in a totally different way. There have been moments of me just grabbing on to Laurie or grabbing on to Hugh and saying ‘oh my God.’ It’s been a right challenge for me and that’s really good. She’s really quite unlike anyone I’ve played before.”

MF: "How is everyone? - It's very lovely to be here, with all of you.
And - I hear, alot of you were downstairs dancing last night and having quite a nice time. Hope you're all feeling good this morning.

Are there any questions, anything I can do for you today?

Wonder where the first question is coming from.
Here we are. Yes, Sir ... Right there in the middle. Yes ... you."
