Alexa Davalos Quotes
[on what music she listens to]: Sidney Bechet. I’m an old-timey gal. I have my granddad’s record collection, which I treasure, and my father’s – The Rolling Stones to Sidney Bechet.
[on what occupies her when away from work]: I’m such a hermit, I can’t tell you. I love my garden (in Los Angeles). I spend a lot of time there. I travel. My heart really is in New York, in France. I go back as often as I can afford to. I read like a crazy person, I play the piano and I’m a photographer. I always say my photography keeps me sane. I spend a lot of time in the darkroom. It’s a very solitary, quiet life when I’m not working.
[on what she looks for in a role, and if she worried about being typecast “as a sci-fi or fantasy actor” early on]: We all do a few things that you kind of look back on and think, no one will remember that; that will be fine. It’s being young and finding your way with everything. The older I get, for me it’s about fear. If I read something and it scares the hell out of me, that’s what I want to do. If it’s a challenge and a massive risk and I’m going out on a limb … those are the ones I want. And they are few and far between. I don’t work very much because I’m very specific about what I want to do.
To be perfectly honest with you, having a mother as an actress — who I watched struggle tremendously during my childhood — and to watch fluctuations of ups and downs is difficult. She did mainly television, so I think I associated that with a life of inconsistency. As I’ve come into my own, I realize it has nothing to do with the medium. It has broadened my horizons in my own mind and ultimately it is about the character for me. If I read something and I fall in love with the character, no matter what it is, I’m eager to do it. That is what happened with Gwen [on “Angel”].
[on Gwen’s wardrobe during Gwen and Angel’s second fight in the season four Angel (1999) episode, “Angel” (1999) {Ground State (#4.2)}_] It was an absolute nightmare. The red leather pants were one thing, but the latex top was like wearing a balloon. It is incredibly hot to wear plastic, but it suited Gwen. It almost became comical at moments. I’m wearing these tight, unique pieces, and to choreograph the fights was very funny.
[on her character “Gwen Raiden” on Angel (1999)]: Oh my god! We can all agree she’s unlike any other character. The electrical power is just part of it. I thought, “Wow! How fun would that be?” She also fascinated me because Gwen has this tough outer shell, and yet, on the inside, she’s incredibly scared and insecure after growing up “as a freak”, as she says. That duplicity of being very insecure on one hand and incredibly strong on the exterior is what attracted me. … Because she had this super power, which was so inhuman and something we can’t relate to, it was a challenge to incorporate that into her and yet make Gwen feel like a real person. I didn’t want people to see her as this odd, alien-like woman without a sense of being human. She was very much a regular girl with this distinctly odd ability — and curse — in many ways.
[on the season four Angel (1999) episode, Angel: Players (2003)] In the third episode, I did most of my work with J. August Richards, and we had so much fun it was hard to believe. He’s fantastic and I so adore him. We would sing between takes and do sit ups.
I tend to curse in French more often than I do in English.
My normal life is, I love to travel and I travel as often as I can. I don’t stay in one place too long. But I’m an avid reader, I guess you could say, I’m a bit of a bookworm.
I grew up very comfortable in this bizarre, circus-like existence, but, as comfortable as I was, I was also aware of the struggles that actors go through. A lot of people who come into the profession with these romantic expectations aren’t being very realistic. And because I often saw the other side of that dream, I avoided acting like the plague at first.
I don’t really have any expectations. For me, it’s all about falling in love with a project and being as present and open as you can while filming it. But once you get on the plane at the end of filming, it’s out of your hands. – On her acting career.
