Maggie Q interview promo for BFAS
http://www.genogenogeno.com/2011/05/maggie-q-asks-you-to-rescue-lovable.html
I think the funniest part is when the lady asks what microchipping is..the look on Maggie's face is hilarious.

IGN talks with Lyndsy Fonseca
IGN TV: Huge congratulations on the pickup. This was my favorite new network series this past season, so I was really excited to hear the news.
Lyndsy Fonseca: Thank you! We have an effing blast. We love it, so I'm really happy we get a second opportunity.
IGN: Are you shocked by how many twists and turns have already occurred on the show?
Fonseca: I love it. I think at the beginning of the season, the writers were kind of figuring out what works and what not, like any new show, and getting their footing. And by the end of the season, I just thought it was just really, really kick ass and I thought they did an incredible job. And I think this next season is going to be even better.
IGN: It seems like your character will have an entirely new dynamic next season, possibly working more closely with Amanda.
Fonseca: Yeah, we'll see! It will be interesting. I'm really excited for Alex to kind of be her own person, you know? She's really, really grown up a lot since the beginning of the season. So I think the writers are going to give me a lot to do and that's interesting. The never bore me, let's just say that!
IGN: In the first half of the season, we wanted to see Nikita and Alex working together more directly. We got that for a while, but now you've been split off again!
Fonseca: I think with a show like this, with two strong female characters, it will go in cycles. We'll come together and then go apart - like any female relationship, right? [Laughs] But I love their bond and I think even if they were to be against each other, that bond that they have from their past will be so strong that they'll be nothing like it. So I'm not concerned. I think it'll be really fun to have a new dynamic.
IGN: How much has [showrunner] Craig Silverstein told you about next season? Has he given you any hints?
Fonseca: Maggie probably knows a lot more than me, but I prefer not to know. I like to stay in the dark. I could call him and be like, "Tell me, tell me!" And sometimes I have about certain things, to play it right, but I don't know… I prefer not knowing, because it makes me focus on one script at a time.
IGN: I have to tell you, I was sure that Nathan wasn't going to make it through the season alive. Think we might see him again?
Fonseca: Nathan's alive, so you never know! He could totally come back. And I'm also hoping Deveon Sawa comes back and I'm hoping Noah Bean comes back. I love them so much
Lyndsy Fonseca: Thank you! We have an effing blast. We love it, so I'm really happy we get a second opportunity.

IGN: Maggie and Shane on what is next for Nikita
IGN TV: When you began this show a year ago, could you possibly imagine how quickly things would move?
Maggie Q: It’s a different show now, it really is, from where we started to where we are. And that’s what [Nikita showrunner] Craig [Silverstein] promised. He did say that by the end of the first season, you won’t recognize these characters. You won’t believe where they’ve come from and where they’re going. And he did it!
Shane West: That’s about all I knew. He said that and he stuck to that, but I really didn’t know all of that was going to happen in one year. Because it could have been dragged out. I mean, there’s so many different ways that you could have done it. And it was so action-packed and it was really exciting and kept us on our toes all the time.
IGN: How much do you know about where it will go next season? Nikita and Michael are out there together somewhere. Do you think we’ll just jump back into the action?
Maggie Q: Well, knowing Craig the way I do, we are going to jump right into Season 2, in a big way. Hopefully Danny Cannon will come back, who directed the pilot, and do the first episode of Season 2. I’m going to send him threatening emails! And then after that… I was making fun of Craig, because in the last scene, Michael and Nikita, they sort of drive off and the idea is that they stopped off at a Walmart or something and she bought a t-shirt and he bought a Members Only jacket. [Laughs]
West: That’s right. [Shaking Head] My choice: Members Only.
Maggie Q: So I said to Craig, “We are not starting Season 2 in these clothes!” He goes, “Oh no, oh no!”
West: Yeah, I was a little worried about that too. We’ll fast forward a day!
Maggie Q: I Think you can expect the first two episodes of Season 2 to be kind of explosive, mind-blowing stuff, just like how we ended it. We’re going to keep the momentum. I know that sounds weird, because there’s such a big gap. But definitely, it’s going to be nuts!
IGN: Are you excited to show Michael and Nikita’s dynamic, now that Michael doesn’t have to keep returning to Division?
West: Oh yeah. They’re together now!
Maggie Q: Even though Shane looks sexy in a suit, it’s going to be nice to have him [with me].
West: What am I gonna wear now?
Maggie Q: Something hot! I’ll pick it.
West: Members Only.
Maggie Q: Members Only. Constantly.
West: Over and over and over again! Yeah, I think you can see that dynamic between them without Division being a part of it. I think that’s going to be part of what’s so lovely about it and also what’s going to be so difficult about it.
Maggie Q: It’s not just Division now. I think you’re going to see Percy go into a different world. You’re going to see Amanda be in a different world with Alex. There are new threats. There are going to be other threats that pop up too. So you’re going to have like these five different, ‘Holy s**t, what’s happening?’ groups. And so Michael and Nikita… it’s gonna be rough! It’s going to be hard. They’re most wanted, these two.
IGN: It took a while for us to see Nikita and Alex working together on screen, but now that’s shifted again.
Maggie Q: Big time.
IGN: You were both mentor figures for Alex, but now you’re completely split off from her. Do you think Michael and Nikita might be able to slowly repair that?
West: I don’t know. We’ve got to still see what happens with all that. What happens for Alex. But with her character, that was a lot of the plot of that last episode, was she had to make her own decisions. So she’s making her decision – that’s where she’s going to take her life. We’ve made our decision. We’re going our way. That’s why we left everything kind of open-ended. It’s hard to see what’s going to happen.
Maggie Q: It’s interesting, the student becoming the sort of antagonistic character. The student will try to defy the master. Always. That sort of always happens. It’s going to be interesting to explore. The thing that I love about this show is that there can’t really be any judgment, because they all have a past. Alex less so than anyone else, but what she had to swallow, because of what Nikita did [to her father], obviously wasn’t her choice. But because of what Nikita actually, physically did, Alex has got to come to terms with, ‘What do I do? Do I live with that? Do I forgive it?’ And it’s something they’ve all had to do.
It’s why Nikita can work with Owen. Because she can’t really judge what he did, because she’s done it a million times. And as much as it hurts her, it’s part of who they are. And there’s a huge theme of forgiveness that has to happen a lot in this show. And so it would be nice for that to come full circle, but you never know. Because someone as young as her, which is why we chose a character that young, can move in a different direction.

Maggie Q's Birthday
Okay, guys, it's Maggie's 32nd bday tomorrow! If you're on twitter help us trend Happy Birthday Maggie Q tomorrow! Thanks((: http://twitter.com/MaggieQNetwork
Great Maggie Quotes(:
Not only do I not want to be stereotyped as this Asian girl who fights – gee, what a wonder – but also I have more to offer than that.
I’m just totally into being strong. There’s something about wanting to get a jar or whatever out of a high cupboard, or moving a sofa over because my dog’s bone rolled under it, and not having to call anyone for help. There’s comfort in that.
When you come to America, it’s a very serious thing. It’s not like you arrive and they say, “Hey, come on! Do movies!” I can’t just be hopping around. I have to focus and be still and make sure that I put the time and effort in. Because if I don’t, I could lose it like that.
I got smashed in the face with a piece of two-by-four, which left one side of my face completely black for two weeks. I’m also deaf in one ear where my eardrum was blown out in an explosive stunt.
I’m half Asian, so people immediately go, “Oh, you do kung fu,” like that’s what we do. We wake up, we do kung fu, we brush our teeth. It’s just assumed that you’re not working your ass off to make this believable and make this something great, and we absolutely are. All of us. I’m not a wushu champion.
I always play these tough roles. I never smile, I’m never sort of happy or laughing. Um, I just had a comedy that was released a couple weeks ago in the States as well, called Balls of Fury, and I looked at it and I wasn’t laughing in that either! I wasn’t smiling, I was tough in it.
All the loves in my life, my dogs are the greatest loves of my life. I mean, no man could ever compare to my dogs, unfortunately.
You’re so full of shit! (During an interview with George Lopez)
My name is Margaret Denise Quigley. I have the whitest name ever! Yet I’d walk into executive offices and they’d say “your English is so good” and I’m like “that’s a shocker.”
When I was living in Asia, they just couldn’t pronounce it (her surname). One day the biggest newspaper printed ‘Q’ and then everybody followed that and then I’d show up and they’d say that and I went “okay!” (On how she became Maggie Q)
I like to be challenged. I like people who do not believe in me. The more people doubt you, the bigger the surprise is going to be when they are proven wrong in the long run. I respond very well to such pressure.

For her first several Hong Kong films, since Maggie could not actually speak Cantonese – she actually had to learn her lines phonetically. Some lines may also have been dubbed.
Mentioned in an interview that her favorite food is Vietnamese food, since that’s the food she grew up with at home.
Was cast in Die Hard 4.0 without an audition.
Posed for renowned Singaporean photographer Leslie Kee for Kee’s 2006 charity photo-book “Super Stars”, dedicated to the victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, which consists of photographs of 300 Asian celebrities by Kee.

Resurrection of the Dragon.
In 2008, she was named PETA Asia-Pacific’s “Person of the Year.”

Maggie Q "Priest" Interview by Fred Topel
“We did the casting thing and had a lot of young, very attractive, very well known young actresses,” Stewart said. “They’re coming in and they’re all wearing these cat suits and all these things. They would wear boots and stuff. Maggie came in wearing ratty jeans and a faded Beastie Boys t-shirt. She had an ice tea or diet coke, she walked in and was like, ‘I think I dressed wrong for this.’”
Nope, Maggie. You look awesome in anything. “First of all, you’re right, the heels and the hair, and there was all this smokey eye [make-up] happening and boobage, which I couldn’t do, even if I wanted to, so I was jealous,” she recalled with Stewart. “I came and thought I was at the wrong place because, last time I checked, the role was for a Priest. So why would you do the boobage and the hair and the heels? I was mortified. I was like, ‘What is happening right now?’”
Stewart thinks the other auditioners were copying Underworld, which is that other movie where hot women in tight spandex fight monsters. Q was just thinking of nailing the test scene.
“What matters is what you bring to the table,” she said. “It’s hard to find your inner truth in a little room with four people that you don’t know. I think all this [exterior], I don’t know what that’s about. I don’t know why they do it, I don’t know what it’s about. Obviously as well by the way, the point is if you’re in a room with a director who understands at a certain level what he wants to bring on screen, none of this matters. [The costumers] make you into whatever it is that they’re going to make you into.”
So without her homemade vamp suit, Q conveyed the reality of being a vampire hunting priestess in a Hollywood boardroom. “We did two scenes,” Stewart said. “One was the scene where she hands the cross back to Priest and she just took us there. You’re just immediately there. You’re just there. You’re like oh, okay, this feels like a movie and it feels like a movie that takes place in this kind of alternate heightened reality or alternate reality. You’re there.”

A little about Maggie Q...
Maggie Q's birth name is Margaret Denise Quigley. She was born on May 22, 1979, which makes her now 31. Her father is Polish-Irish and her mother is Vietnamese. She was born & raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. She began modeling at age 17 in Tokyo before making an unsucessful movie in Taipei. She soon moved to Hong Kong, where she was selected by Jackie Chan, because he saw a potential action star. "I had twenty bucks in my pocket. I mean, I literally did the same thing that my mother did when she left Vietnam... didn't speak the language... had no money." Maggie says why it wasn't very easy for her. Chan's intense training program taught her the importance of being professional and doing her own stunts. She now jokes about how when she started, she couldn't even touch her toes! She began her acting career in 1998 in a TV drama House of the Dragon. In 2000, Q made her film debut as Anna in horror film, Model from Hell, and went on to star as FBI agent Jane Quigley in the action thriller Gen-Y Cops the same year. Her appearance in Gen-Y Cops impressed Chan so much that she was cast in Manhattan Midnight and Rush Hour 2. She eventually even starred alongside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible III! She is currently starring as Nikita, a rouge government assasin, in the hit CW show NIKITA, which just finished up it's first season. She also was in the new movie Priest as Priestess.
