Shirley Manson ON TERMINATOR LORE

How he/she got the part:

Shirley says:

I was at a baby shower with my friend Christine. Her husband Josh [Friedman] is a writer on the show and we bonded overThe Black Dahlia, which he wrote. We went out to lunch and Christine said that Josh talked on and on about having me in his TV show. I didn't even know he had a TV show. When she said it wasTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I laughed, because it thought it would be fucking great. A lot of roles have come my way over the years, but nothing I was in the mood for at the time. But, to be honest, I was just scared to take that leap to acting.

In his/her own words:

Shirley says:

I had never been on an audition before so I didn't know what to expect and I was shocked to see other actresses there when I arrived. It really freaked me out. I was like, "Oh my God. This is like a shootout." I was green. I went in and did it. And I felt odd. I didn't think for a second I'd get it, and then they called me back and I had to do two other auditions before I got the role.


Quotes about the actor/character:

Shirley says:

The character that Glenn Close plays in the TV showDamages[influenced] me in the same way that Margaret Thatcher did. I was thinking of whom I thought of as really dangerous women. Margaret Thatcher was someone I grew up really fearing. And Glenn Close's character inDamages(on FX) is one of the few women on TV who actually manages to be female and frightening and threatening and powerful at the same time. Women like this don't exist in the media anymore. It's so much fun to play.

    ACTOR QUOTES
    • "Young girls now correlate the word 'sexy' with nakedness. It's practically, 'Show us your labia'. If you play that game of allowing yourself to be judged by your physicality, it will not sustain you through a long career. There's always going to be someone younger, more beautiful, more desirable. It's a temple of dust." (About the music industry)
    • "I look at today's charts, at the women who are selling the most records, getting the most column inches, and I'm terrified by how they are all controlled by a male corporate idea of what women and rebels should be. When Christina Aguilera is taken seriously as a rebellious figure, we have a huge problem."
    • I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious.
    • A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people bow down to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.
    FUN FACTS
    • It has been revealed that she is a Terminator, the 'T-1001' (Episode 1, Season 2).
