On ‘Grey’s,’ if you have a bad day as a doctor, you lose a patient. But what’s crazy about ‘Station 19’ is if you have a bad day as a firefighter, the patient dies, or you die, or your partner dies. It’s a whole other level of stakes.
We entered ‘Lucid Grey’ into the Georgetown festival on April 27, 2001. Now ‘Sound of My Voice’ is opening on April 27, 11 years later. It couldn’t have happened in a more perfectly cinematic way.
The thing is, I never see my characters as psychopaths. I see them as really crippled victims who just happen to do bad things. And I never see them as bad guys; I see them as darker characters. I never see anything as good or bad; it’s more light or dark, and the in-between is the grey.
Boredom and sexual desire are a potent and explosive combination, and people will certainly risk their lives to exit a grey and boring life.
I think it’s well-known that I love all things ABC and Shonda Rhimes – I’m a huge ‘Scandal’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ fan.
Finland is dark and grey, but I’m a very happy, colorful, positive person – and I feel like Eurovision is all about that.
Anyone can wear any color. The question is about finding the right shade. There is a momentary trend to dark colors because when the financials are not that great, people go for black, navy and grey.
Just as black and white, when mixed, make grey, in many ways that’s what it did to my self-identity: it created a murky area of who I was, a haze around how people connected with me. I was grey. And who wants to be this indifferent colour, devoid of depth and stuck in the middle? I certainly didn’t.
I get the feeling that audiences have become mature and they understand that not every character is in black or white. There can be grey shades to it.
I auditioned twice for ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ – that was a pretty, erm, ‘interesting’ experience.
Ravana isn’t the usual villain. He is smart, has a personality, and has shades of grey which make him a complex character. There is versatility in the role and I plan to maximize on that.
I never liked Gandalf the White as much as Gandalf the Grey, and I never liked him coming back. I think it would have been an even stronger story if Tolkien had left him dead.
Who’d give up sunny California for the grey old Earls Court Road? I’m looking out at blue skies and the mountains and trees, and it’s so beautiful.
