INTERVIEW: Jewel Staite talks FIREFLY, Food, Fun, and Fillion

As a journalist I am duty bound to conduct interviews that aim for revelation"“probing my subjects with deft questions that are supposed to push them beyond where they want to go. Thats how Oprah does it, thats how I'm supposed to do it, but funk that.

I reached out to Jewel Staite, a globe roaming gourmand and portrayer of both Kaylee Frye, the ever lovable mechanic on FIREFLY, and Jennifer Keller, the resident Doctor on STARGATE ATLANTIS, with the hope of having a fun conversation that I could share with you.

The following conversation does not contain revelations on the internal struggle of a suffering thespian, or a questionaire inspired by Bernard Pivot; frankly I'm not that good at my job.

No, instead of that stuff we touch on brain eating, cheap wine, the ego of Nathan Fillion, shrimp pot pie, Muppets, the creepiness of shag carpeting, and Jewel's plan for world domination.

And now without further delay, Jewel Staite"¦

My favorite quote from the interview (referring to both her portrayal of Kaylee & Doctor Jennifer Keller on STARGATE ATLANTIS: "I know no medical jargon or Mandarin anymore. As soon as it's out of my mouth and the scene's done, I promptly allow my puny brain to forget it. I have been known to use the phrase, "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mehanic!".

I love this bit:

You want to talk about being a thief, talk to Fillion. He's got boxes of stuff he stole from that set, and the irony that he's playing a guy who helps cops right now is not lost on me.

great interview 🙂
