Clare Kramer: Exclusive Slayerverse Interview
Check out the interview we had with Clare Kramer at the Fed Con in Germany last weekend... And hereīs also a little surprise for you... Enjoy! |
Do you enjoy your time here in Germany??
Oh yes, I love Germany. I havenīt been here very long because I just came in on Thursday, late, midnight. So, Friday morning... And then I havenīt even left the hotel since Iīve been here (laughs). But itīs very nice, I love it. The people are very, very nice and Fed Con is always a great event, so I was very happy to be welcomed back...
How did you prepare yourself for the role of Glory??
For the role of Glory it was an interesting preperation. `Cause, since the character was a god, you know... I donīt have any experience being a god (laughs), so it was a very creative process. I had to kind of pick it from what I thought the character would be and even though she was evil, and I knew she was supposed to be evil I didnīt want to portrait her as evil, I wanted her to feel about herself that she was doing the right thing, if that makes any sense... I didnīt want her to come from the point of view that she was doing something bad or else I felt like it would be the character, so I approached her from a positive point of view. As weird as that may sound īcause she was definitely an evil character, so... That was the main preparation. And then as we shot more and more episodes I kind of got a better and better feel for her and it became easier and easier each day to prepare.
Whatīs your favorite episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer??
For me.. I really liked the 100th episode. I love being a part of the 100th episode, and it was sort of like I killed Buffy in that episode, because they didnīt know if the show was gonna go on. So it sort of wrapped up the whole show and as we know it went to more seasons... But they (the fans) didnīt know it at that time.. So it was a fullfilling episode in that it did wrap up my character, and also fullfilling in that I felt I was being a part of something big.
Is there any other "Whedon-Project" you would like to be a part of??
Anything he does I would love to be a part of... I love Jossīwork. Heīs a really creative guy. the dialoque he writes... itīs superb! So I would definitely love to be a part of another project.
Are there any upcoming projects, you would like to tell us about??
Yes. I have three movies coming out next year, well, actually one this year. The one that is coming out this year is called "the Gravedancers". Itīs something like a modern version of "Poltergeist"... Me and my husband, who is played by Dominic Purcell from "Prison Break" were haunted by a ghost.. but I donīt want to give too much away, but itīs a scary movie. Then thereīs a movie called "The Fallen" which is a period piece about a family in the 1950īs. I donīt exactly know when thatīs coming out- probably 8 or 9 more months. And then I just finished a movie thatīs called "The Thirst" with Adam Baldwin and Tom Lenk, both from Jossīshows as well, and that should be coming out probably in about a year since we literally just finished it... Thatīs a really gritty, vampire-bloody movie, thatīs gonna be very cool, I think. So...
Whatīs the biggest difference between doing a movie and doing a TV-show?? Which one is harder to do, which one gives you more flexibility??
The biggest difference between TV and movie is that for Tv-Shows you donīt have the whole story when you start a season. You donīt know where the writers are gonna take the show, you donīt know in what direction they gonna go. With movies you pretty much know whatīs gonna happen... Itīs gonna be 110 pages, you have the storyline, you know how to play your character, so finally when doing a film I can get deeper into the project and deeper into the character and prepare in a way where with TV sometimes itīs more like just memorizing the lines on a time-frame and you donīt know whatīs gonna happen during the whole season. So I think I find film a little more fullfilling.
Whatīs your dream-role??
I donīt know... I feel like Iīve been really lucky with the roles I have played and I keep getting the projects I think which are really cool. So... I donīt know if I have a dream-role, yet, my dream would be to keep working and keep doing cool projects.
Would you ever like to attend a convention as a "normal" person, not as the star?? If you do, what kind of convention would it be??
Maybe if it was an X-Files Convention... Iīm really happy to meet Dean (Dean Haglund, "Langly" from the X-Files) this weekend, because Iīm a huge X-Files fan, so.. Yeah, definitely...
What do you think or feel when you realize the work youīve done on TV or in a movie has been seen by millions of people around the world and that it has influenced their lives in some way, to the point of remembering your name as well as travelling to see you in person??
Iīm hugely, hugely flattered, that someone would even consider my work interesting, or , you know, Iīm really flattered that I have a fanbase and that I have that opportunity to come to things like Fed Con and other conventions. I take it as a huge compliment, Iīm honored, I donīt even really know how to put it into words, I just feel extremely, extremely lucky and blessed that you guys find what I do interesting. It just donīt make sense and... All I can say is THANK YOU, you know... I do find it flattering, itīs so remarkable to me!
Are there any questions you would like to ask your fans??
Uhm.. No, I just like to say Thank you! You guys have been a huge influence in my life, and because of you Iīve been able to travel the world and my husband and I have gotten to see amazing places that we would never get to go on our own, and itīs just been an amazing part of my life. And I hope that I can give back what you guys have given me in the few minutes you may see me on stage or the few minutes I may talk to you over a picture or something like that... iīm very, very grateful, so.. THANK YOU!
