First and foremost, huge congrats on winning our "Best Thing On the Internet Award", we hope you are as stoked about getting it as we are about giving it to you. With all that porn out there, who'd have thought it? Anyway, how does it feel to be crowned top dogs? How will you celebrate? Because you so should celebrate.
Thanks for the Award! How awesome is this?!? Of course I'm going to celebrate, in fact, I celebrated a little to much last night so you'll have to excuse me if my answers are whack!
Throughout this interview, we'll be firing some pretty odd questions your way, we figured you'd be tired of the same old questions and so we'll do our best to keep it fresh.. like this; Its a fight to the death, we've all been there. Which cast member would win?
In a fight? It has to go to Sandeep...he has some mean Karate moves...or maybe Amy, she could definitely do some damage!
We're sure you must get a lot of positive feedback, but as we know all too well, the net is also full of morons. How do you deal with negative comments? Do you find heavy criticism a problem?
It's hard not to read the comments. In this business you have to have a crazy thick skin and not worry about those lameos who feel the need to be negative
There are alot of differences between British and American humour, what is it, in your opinion, that bridges that chasm so well?
First of all, I think British humor is gold...I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ricky Gervais, Extras is one of my favorite shows. The thing about British humor is it's alot more dry and awkward (which is more my humor) than American. Did i answer that...meh...
Last Summer, we wrote a guide to being metrosexual. Clearly,we understand the importance of looking "freaky, sexy good" at all times. Who spends the longest sorting their appearance before getting down to work?
Oh, I would say the girls, Amy, Felicia and I ,spend the most time...I'm not a diva or anything, but I'm uber particular about my hair...my side bangs are my money maker!!!
We have discovered that no story involving 14 beers and take-out food has a happy ending. Do you guys ever partake in wild parties and nights around town after shooting?
We have some fun wrap parties! I have to say that Sandeep is my partner in crime, we're always 'in it to win it' when it comes to parties.
We once received a bit of coverage during the BBC's coverage of cricket, sparking a huge debate about baked goods, what is the weirdest thing any of you have had to do in promoting the Guild?
I'm not sure if it's weird but I basically threaten all my friends to watch the show or are relationship is dunzo...yep I just end it if they don't support me and my endeavors.
Picture the scene: You book a short break to Europe, just to take sometime for yourselves, but there's a mistake and you end up in the small industrial town of Delmenhorst, famous for linoleum production. What would you do to amuse yourselves?
I'm not sure if you know this, but I'm like super personable...It's funny, people just gravitate towards me...that said I'm sure I'd meet some cool person who'd want to hang out and we'd probably just get smashed. Let's call a spade a spade what else would you do in a town that is famous for linoleum production?!?!?
Speaking of Europe, we'd love to hear your opinions if you've ever been our way? The Welsh once saved Ravi's life.
I visited London for 3 weeks when I was in college and fell in love with it! The theatre was amazing! I hope to return soon...I just have to start saving!
Ravi, Adam and I recently started a short lived Austro-German Lounge-jazz-funk-fusion ensemble, replete with spangly jackets, keytars, handlebar moustaches and mullets. How much would you each charge, were we to approach you about appearing in a music video? We could offer all the currywurst you can eat.
I would do the video for free...yes free. I mean it's not everyday you get to be in a Austro-German Lounge-jazz-funk-fusion ensemble, replete with spangly jackets, keytars, handlebar moustaches and mullets right?!
We think you rock. Could we tempt you to come stay for a while? It'd be fun, Ravi has Tarot cards.
First of all...heck yes! I'm totally in need of a vacation...I'm super low maintenance...just give me some Kettle One and the occasional meal and I'll be set!! By the way you had me at Tarot Cards!!
Our research shows that real child neglect isn't very funny. Yet we don't feel guilty laughing at your character, how much fun is the role?
Yah...real child neglect doesn't get any laughs...too bad huh?!??! I think the reason people laugh at Clara's antics is because she's just so ditsy and clueless! Playing Clara is so much fun because she's so out there...especially in season 2, You see a totally different side of Clara. She turns into a hot mess!
I know someone very similar to your character. Luckily, she is not yet a mother. How much research did you do for the role?
Well let's hope your friend doesn't procreate!!!!! As far as research goes, I have a huge family so I've always been around kids. I didn't adopt a kid for a month to prepare or anything like that...although I did try.
Whats your most memorable experience fr0m your time on the show?
Memorable...well I would say when we were at Blizzcon. I mean, there was a line, like ,an hour long to meet us...How crazy is that!! Does that count?!?!?
Isn't this just the best interview you've ever had? We won't get all big-headed.. we promise.
I wasn't going to say it, but I have to agree...You guys are pretty amazing...Aren't I like the best person to interview?!?!?(it's ok, I already know it)
I once walked out of a Drama class because I was asked to act as the color orange. Whats the best and worst things you had to do while studying?
The color Orange?!?!? What kind of acting class was that?!? I majored in Theatre so I could go on for days on question...I never had to act like a color but i did have to act like an inanimate object, i chose a chaise lounge and let me tell you...Oscar worthy!!!!
Who have you most enjoyed working with?
I have to choose? This is when I turn really cheesy, ready? I loved working with everybody...we're like one big dysfunctional family!
What would you like to do next?
The obvious one is, Season 3 of the show...I'm super excited to find out what crazy antics Clara gets into! I'd also like to do anything that has to do with film or television...well not anything, I have my standards!
Thanks so much for your time, we hope to be speaking with you again sometime in the future, and wish you all the best with the show.
Thanks you guys for making us "Best Thing on the Internet"!! I'll see you in the office soon...huh huh?!?!?
