URyan T. Cusick: Ube ngumlingisi isikhathi esingakanani? Kuqale kanjani konke lokhu kuwe?

UNawomi Grossman: Gosh, njengombungu? Yini eza ngaphambi kwalokho, umbungu? Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngikhiphe izandla ze-jazz esiswini sikamama! Selokhu ngakhumbula, abazali bami bangichaya kwezobuciko namasiko. Futhi ngenkathi sihleli, sijabulela i-cinema, indawo yaseshashalazini, i-ballet, i-opera, ukusho lokho-kwakuthatha konke okwakungaphakathi kimi ukuhlala esihlalweni sami hhayi ukucula nokudansa kwesitayela seRocky Horror nokwenza kanye nabo esikhaleni! Abantu bami bathathe ukusikisela, futhi bangibhalisa emakilasini amadrama ezinye zezingane zokudala. Okunye umlando. Kusukela eminyakeni yobudala engu-11 kuqhubeke, ngangisebenza njalo ku- "Comedy Works" eDenver, lapho ngivela khona, kanye nokuvela kuzikhangiso zesifunda, nakunoma iyiphi ithelevishini eyayiza ngeColorado. Uthole ikhadi lami le-SAG ku-15 yami^th usuku lokuzalwa! Ngakho-ke akekho noyedwa owake wangabaza ukuthi ngizoba yini lapho sengikhulile… Bona (nami, ngalokho) babona ukuthi yilokho ebengikwenza impilo yami yonke, ngakho-ke ngingavele nginamathele kulokho! Futhi babeqinisile. Manje, ngemithombo yezokuxhumana, siyazi ukuthi ukuphi kwethu kwasenkulisa kwakudleni kwasekuseni - kepha noma ngabe bekungekho ngoMark Zuckerberg, et al, abantu basazokwazi ukucabanga kahle ukuthi ngifunani. Angikaze ngintengantenge umzuzwana.

I-RTC: Ingabe ukhule ungumlandeli owesabekayo?

NG: Yebo, yebo no-cha. Njengoba ngishilo, abazali bami babenambitheka kamnandi-ithelevishini yathathwa njenge "boob tube" futhi bacabanga ukubola ubuchopho! Ungalokothi ukhathalele ukuthi hlobo luni lomonakalo ama-movie wesabekayo angenza! (Ngiyakhumbula ngenkathi ngibanjwa ngibuka i- "Clueless," ngakuthethelela ngokuchaza ukuthi kwakususelwa kunoveli kaJane Austin.) Ngenxa yalokho, kunezikhathi zonke zesiko le-pop engilikhumbule (yize ngiyisicefe ngokungahleliwe okuphezulu -art-trivia akekho omunye owaziyo). Ngakho-ke, bekufanele ngiphuze kakhulu ukwethuka kwami ​​ngenkathi ngise emaphathini okulala! Ngiyakhumbula ngiyithanda, kepha ikakhulukazi ngoba yayingavunyelwe! Ngisho namanje, angiyona ingubo-fan yazo zonke izinto ezesabekayo, impela. Ngithanda amadrama asezingeni eliphakeme, nabalingiswa abakhulu kunabadlula impilo, okuyizinto ezithusayo okufanele zibe nazo! Ngithanda izindaba zami ezixoxwe kahle -uhlobo oluthile empeleni alusebenzi.

I-RTC: Uma bekufanele ukhethe indima oyithandayo, bekungaba yini?

NG: Hhayi-ke, akubuzwa ukuthi uPepper ubelunge kakhulu kimi! Okuqale njenge-costar-that-can, cishe kuphenduke imboni yonke ye-cottage, ephelele ngama-action action, imaski ye-Halloween, ama-tattoo ama-fan, uyiqamba igama. Futhi ukucabanga ukuthi bengicabanga ukuthi kungaba yindima eyengeziwe ekhazinyulisiwe! Ngakho-ke, uma unikezwe ukuthi kudlule kude kangakanani kulokho ebengikulindele, yikhanda lephini, akukho-brainer: Pepper 100%. Yize ngimi ngeqiniso lokuthi ukubhala / ukukhiqiza / ukwenza eyami imibukiso yodwa kube yinto eyanelisa kakhulu. Ngihambe ngezinyawo, ngenyuka ngazo zombili izindlela, emvuleni ebina, ngiphethe ubhaka ogcwele ama-dildos, ngenza umbukiso wami wamaScotmen angama-40 noma adakwe kakhulu e-Edinburgh Fringe Festival, njalo ebusuku inyanga. Uma USAYITHANDA indima ngemuva kwalokho, ke busisa inhliziyo yomculi wakho omncane!

I-RTC: Kumele ngibuze, iyiphi ifilimu oyithandayo oyesabayo?

NG: Mhlawumbe "Ingane kaRosemary?" Ngithanda ukuthi iqhutshwa ngabesifazane, futhi ukwethuka akukwedluli, kepha kunalokho kukuhlasela! I- “Clockwork Orange” kaKubrick ne- “The Shining” zingumzuzwana osondele, zilandelwa uHitchcock's “The Birds” ne- “Vertigo,” ngenxa nje yesifiso. Lapho ngicwaninga uPelepele, ngathola i-Lon Chaney ethi “Okungaziwa,” okuthi, uma uyazi le ndaba, yi-OG enhle! Muva nje (“Okungaziwa” kubuyela emuva ku-1927), ngithokozele ifilimu yaseSpain, "Indlu Yezintandane," namafilimu aqoshwa, afana ne- "The Blair Witch Project" ne- "Paranormal Activity." Ngakho-ke, nginokunambitheka okuhle kagesi! Ngikholelwa ukuthi okuncane kuningi, ngakho-ke nginkulu ngokusola nokuqhuma ebusuku, futhi nginciphe kakhulu ekuqotheni.

I-RTC: Ngabe kukhona okwenzile ukulungiselela indima yakho njengoPepper ku- "American Horror Story: Freak Show?"

NG: Yebo kunjalo. Ngiqashe i- “Freaks” kaTod Browning sonke isikhathi sasehlobo, futhi ngiyibuke kahle kakhulu kuze kube yilapho siqala ukuqopha ifilimu — umqondo wokuthi ngangizolingisa inkanyezi yayo, “uSchlitzie,” owayengumuntu ophila ngokoqobo ngemuva kwalokho umlingiswa kaPelepele yafaniswa. Kuze kube yilelo phuzu, bengicwiliswe kakhulu kumdlalo wamahlaya, kepha bengifuna ukuthi isithombe sami sibonakale singokoqobo, hhayi njenge-caricature evela kwi-SNL. Ngakho-ke ngenze ucwaningo olufanele nge-microcephaly. Lapho sengikwazi kahle uPelepele ngokomzimba (ukuhamba, ukukhuluma, ukushukuma komzimba, indlela yokuziphatha), ngasebenza nomqeqeshi obambile ukumthola ngaphakathi. Sobabili sisungule umlando wangaphakathi wonke. Sasingazi, ngemuva kwezinkathi ezi-2, kuzoba nendaba yangempela, enginikezwe yona ngababhali! Kepha lokho akukho lapha nalaphaya. Okubalulekile ukuthi umlingiswa ngamunye ANE-backstory-noma ngabe izethameli ziyazi ukuthi yini lokho, akubalulekile.

I-RTC: Yiziphi izingxenye ezivuzayo nezinzima kakhulu ngokudlala uPelepele?

NG: Okuzuzisa kakhulu inkululeko enkulu engayinikezwa njengomlingisi. Kusukela ngosuku 1, engake ngathola nje amagama amabili okuqondisa: “do Schlitzie.” Amagama ama-2 nje, nokho lokho kwakwanele! Uma nje ngangikwenza lokho, ngangazi ukuthi ngenza lokho engangiqashwe yimi. Iqiniso lokuthi bangangethemba nje ukuthi ngizohlala kulo mlingiswa, futhi ngibe ngongqondongqondo, ngaphandle kokulawulwa okuncane kakhulu kwaba nomvuzo omangalisayo. Ingxenye enzima kakhulu bekungukuthi ukungazi. Bengingazi ukuthi uSalty ungumyeni wami kwaze kwaba sebusuku ngaphambi kokuba siqale ukushutha isiqephu “Sezintandane”! Bengimane nje ngicabanga ukuthi uyiwele lami. Esiqeshini 2 “Sokukhoseliswa,” lapho uDade Mary Eunice ethi nginqume indlebe kadadewethu, ngavele ngathi ngithole! Ngoba futhi, bengingazi ngenye indlela. Ngakho-ke nginike lokhu kusine okuncane okukhohlisayo, njengokuthi “mhlawumbe ngenzile, mhlawumbe angizange” njengokungaqageli lutho. Ngesikhathi “Sokukhoseliswa,” ngangithola kuphela amakhasi engangikuwo, ngakho-ke ngangingazi ukuthi kwenzekani ngesigamu sesikhathi. UScript uthi, "Upelepele uyachama." Ngakho-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi ngizochama! Kwaze kwaba yilapho ngifika ku- “Freak Show” lapho enganikezwa khona imibhalo ephelele. Ngakho-ke bekufanele ngenze ithoni yokuqagela ngomlingiswa wami, ubudlelwano, indaba yezindaba, uyiqambe igama. Konke kusebenze, kepha kudinga ukwethembana okukhulu, okungelula neze.

I-RTC: Ungayichaza inqubo yokuguqulwa ibe uPelepele? Yimiphi imicabango yakho okokuqala uzibona njengoPelepele?

NG: Impela. Wawunamakhala okufakelwa, ibunzi, nezindlebe, konke okwakwenziwe kusengaphambili ukuze kulingane ubuso bami, kwase kunamathiselwa phansi kwapendwa. Benginelensi yokuthinta, i-lens yokuxhumana, futhi-ke, babegunda ikhanda lami (i-top-notch kwakuyinto yami ngesikhathi se- "Asylum," kanti banginika ucezu lwe- "Freak Show"). Nganginazo lezo zandla ezinkulu zamadoda, ngisho nesifuba sokufakelwa, engangisigqoka ngocansi lwasekhaya esalushutha esiqeshini sokuqala se- "Freak Show." Sekukonke, kwathatha cishe amahora ama-1-2.5 ukwenza kimi njengoPelepele. Futhi lokho kwancishiswa! Ukuhlolwa kokuqala okwenziwe kwakungaphezulu kwamahora angu-3-futhi lokho kunabaculi bezimonyo abangu-6 abaningi abawina ama-Emmy abangihlukanisa phakathi!

Ngiyasikhumbula leso sikhathi sokuqala, ngizibona. Bengifana nokuthi, “yini i…?” Kodwa nganginengqondo! Kungani uzilinganisela emkhakheni omfushane njengenkosazana enhle, lapho ungaba nempilo ende njengomthakathi owesabekayo, onekhala eliyisigaxa ?! Bengihlale ngibona izinto maqondana nokusakaza, bengazi ukuthi angisoze ngaphonswa ngobuhle bami. Hhayi ukuthi nginamahloni kangako. Kepha uma ufuna ukuthola indlovukazi yobuhle eHollywood, ungaphonsa itshe ulishaye. Ngenkathi ngihlala ngazi ukuthi nginokuthile okuhluke kakhulu futhi okukhethekile engingakunikeza.

I-RTC: Unefilimu entsha etholakala ku-VOD ebizwa ngokuthi, "Ngilume." Le filimu iyiRomantic Comedy; kodwa-ke, icebo lale filimu linokuthuka okuncane kakhulu kulo. UNaomi, ungasitshela ngale filimu nangesimilo sakho uChrissy?

NG: Kuyindaba yothando phakathi kwe-vampire yangempela yempilo kanye ne-ejenti ye-IRS emhlola. ('Real-life "okusho umuntu othola amandla ekuphuzeni igazi, angakhulumi ngolimi lweShakespearean, noma afake ama-ruffles nama-corsets.) Umlingiswa wami, uChrissy, ungumholi womlilo weqembu le-vampire. Uyabungabaza ubudlelwano ngokufanelekile ... Ama-Vampire awaqomi “ngezindlela ezingezona ezejwayelekile.” Kuyinto enhle, yakudala, inhlanzi-ephuma-emanzini rom-com.

I-RTC: Ubukade ubambe iqhaza kwi-Horror-Thriller "1BR" futhi le filimu isanda kuqala ukukhonjiswa kuFantasia Film Festival futhi ithole ukubuyekezwa okumnandi kuyo yonke indawo. Ngabona i-trailer nefilimu ibukeka kahle! Ungasitshela ngefilimu nomlingisi wakho uJanice?

NG: Kuyi-bonkers! Imayelana nomuntu osemncane, onethemba laseHollywood, othuthela edolobheni kulokho okubonakala kuyiphupho lakhe, ifulethi lokulala eli-1, ukuze athole ukuthi liqhutshwa yinkolo. Ngidlala unkosikazi womholi wehlelo. Kuyingxenye encane, kepha ihlelo ngokusobala libalulekile endabeni! Ekugcineni kuyisiqephu sokuhlangana, engiziqhenyayo ngokuba yingxenye yaso!

I-RTC: Eminyakeni edlule uke wenza kuzo zonke izinhlobo ezinkulu ezimangazayo! Ngabe ukhetha uhlobo oluthile kunolunye?

NG: Kuyathakazelisa ngokwanele, kuyashintsha! Ngangivame ukuba nombono wokuthi leli bhizinisi lalincintisana kakhulu, kwakudingeka ukuthi uthole i-niche yakho, futhi ucije lokho nje. Ngakho-ke ngakhetha amahlaya wesikeshi. Iphupho lami belihlala likhona kwi-SNL, njengo-gen olandelayo uLily Tomlin, uCarol Burnett, uTracy Ulman, noma uGilda Radner. Ngenkathi konke lokho kungamatshe okuthinta amahle ukuba nawo, manje sengiyabona ukuthi i-myopic leyo bekungukuthi… Esikhundleni sokuzikhawulela emdwebeni wokudweba, bekufanele ngabe ngicabanga ukuthi kwakungani ngomdlalo wamahlaya owawungikhanga, futhi wakwenza lokho! Impendulo, empeleni, bekungabalingiswa abakhulu, okuthi, ngenhlanhla kimi, kube khona KONKE uhlobo! Masibhekane nakho, umlingiswa onjengoPepper angaba khona ngokuphelele endaweni yonke ye-SNL! Khona lapho noPat, noGilly, nabo bonke! Kodwa-ke umdonsela amanothi ambalwa, bese uphakamisa izimo ezimangalisayo lapho ekhona, enza noma omunye wabalingiswa abadabukisayo kuyo yonke i-AHS! Ngakho-ke noma ngubani, ngincamela ukungazikhawuleli. Ngenkathi ifilimu engiyithandayo engasoze yaphela izohlala ithi “Borat,” kulezi zinsuku, ngidlulisa amahlaya abanzi ngezinto ezinesisisekelo, ezicashile nezibucayi. Ngibona ukuthi singabaculi, sikhula njalo futhi sineqiniso ngobuqotho bethu kwezobuciko. Awukwazi ukusola uPicasso ngokulahla i-Blue Period yakhe yeCubism! Siyabonga okuhle akwenzile-manje sineCubism! Hhayi ukuthi ngicabanga ukuthi nginguPicasso, kepha uthola umbono.

I-RTC: Ngiyabona ukuthi ubhale uhla lwezikhindi, ngabe uhlela ukubhala noma yimaphi amafilimu wesici noma yiziphi izifiso zokubandakanyeka kakhudlwana ngemuva kwekhamera, njengokuqondisa?

NG: Akunjalo Empeleni. Lezo zikhindi zaziyindlela nje yokufeza okuthile. Bengingaphonswa ngendlela yesiko, ngakho ngaziphonsa! Ukuqondisa akukuthandi impela, yize ngitsheliwe ukuthi ngingumbhali ongcono kunomlingisi! (Kwenzelwa kanjani lokho ukuncoma okufihliwe?) Kepha ngokujulile, ngiyakuthanda ukubhala futhi ngiyavuma ukuthi nginezwi elihlukile, futhi kuningi engingakusho! Ngakho-ke ngisebenzela ukuqeda umbukiso wami wesithathu wedwa manje. Ngithanda ukusicabanga njengesikhali sami esiyimfihlo — into abalandeli bePelepele abangayazi ngami! Ngokufanelekile, izovela ku-Broadway, kanye / noma njengokukhethekile kwamahlaya eNetflix. Kepha lelo yibanga lezinhlelo zami ezingaphandle kwekhamera.

I-RTC: Ngabe unezikhathi ezihlekisayo noma ezingalibaleki ongabelana ngazo nathi kusuka komunye wamafilimu wakho noma imibukiso yethelevishini? Noma okungcono-okuthile okusabekayo?

Kusukela kulezo zinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala ngigqoke iwigi, angikwazi ukutshela abantu-ikakhulukazi abafana ebengithandana nabo-ukuthi kungani ngishiye ngokungazelele ubob wami olandelanayo ngenhlanya, uHare Krishna, top-notch! Noma ukuhanjiswa ukusethwa nge-burka, uma kwenzeka noma ngubani ovakashela iParountount ngaleso sikhathi azame ukuthatha isithombe! Noma ukuvinjelwa ngabezokuphepha ngenkathi ngidlisa izinkonzo zobuciko ngemuva kokuthi ngiphelile ukwenza izimonyo — bathi "kwenzelwa abalingisi nabasebenza kuphela," bengazi ukuthi ngingomunye wabo! Ngikhumbula indlela iziphathimandla ezaziziphatha ngayo ngokungajwayelekile kimi njengoPepper — ekuqaleni, zazingafuni ukuxhumana ngamehlo, bese kuba sengathi ngaba yimascot ebekiwe! Angisoze ngikhohlwa ukudubula “Igama Lamagama;” i-AD yamemeza nge-megaphone, "wonke umuntu angakhula kakhulu, ngaphandle kukaPepper." Noma ngaleso sikhathi bangikhuphula estage ngenkathi kwenziwa idemo yokwenza izimonyo eMonsterpalooza; ngemuva kwalokho, ngagasela esiteji samahlaya! “Ukukhoseliswa” kwakukade kusakazwe kanye kuphela ngaleso sikhathi, ngakho-ke bambalwa abambalwa ababekwazi abakubonayo. (Empeleni ungakubuka konke ku-YouTube!) Ngemuva kwalokho, ngibe namahora ambalwa engingawabulala (njengoPepper) ngaphambi kokuhlwa kwami, izinhlelo ze-Halloween… ngiyaziqhenya ngakho ngithi ngihlale ngiziphethe kahle, kodwa ungacabanga ububi engibenzayo kungenzeka ube nakho! Uma ukhuluma ngalokhu, bekufanele ube lapho nami kanye nezixakaxaka ezinsukwini zethu zokuphumula ekilabhini yezwe lezingubo-ongazikhethela eNew Orleans! Akunakushiwo, nginezikhathi eziningi ezingalibaleki. Ngingaqhubeka nokuqhubeka…
