mcvortex: MICHELLE What's it like playing an alien?
WBStar: JOSHUA SAYS: I didn't get to work ON camera with him too much...he's always in character on set...which is kind of disturbing because he plays a war criminal...it was wild seeing him walk around the set in an SS.
linus: Michelle Do you plan on writing?
UltimateTV: Michelle: I guess its not too much of an escape from normality.
linus: Michelle what did you learn from Jessica Lange?
WBStar: MICHELLE is content keeping her thoughts in a journal, but if she could write like Kevin Williamson...

WBStar: JOSHUA says: I haven't really compiled a list.

WBStar: Michelle says: "Notes from the Underground."
mcvortex: MICHELLE Who was in "A Mother's Justice?"
UltimateTV: Joshua: I don't have to be here. The way to be non-participatory is to just not live here. If Hollywood is a state of mind, then I'm an ignorant man.

linus: Michelle which of the three actresses did you learn the most from?
WBStar: MICHELLE SAYS: It wasn't really the most or the best, it was different things from the three of them, with Jessica it was about grace, Michelle is ethereal, Jennifer is so complex.

UltimateTV: Any little teasers you want to share with us now?
linus: Michelle What did you learn from Michelle Pfeiffer
UltimateTV: Josh: You'd relearn these influences and look at how these people had changed.
WBStar: JOSH SAYS: It was like a case study for young children. you'd relearn these people every two years (Mighty Ducks) We had a lot of fun too, cuz we were getting paid to play hockey.
