（剛收信瞄到這篇，覺得有趣，就貼來。抱歉沒時間做摘要，先把內容放上～><） Mayim Bialik（the Blossom girl，以及女Sheldon XD）的訪談，還滿豐富，也許是因為MB算很會說話的關係吧。大致提到她的audition等演藝經驗、post-blossom、以一個中途加入TBBT的演員去看TBBT劇組的感想、與其他演員工作的感受（主要是Jim Parsons），及部分對現今演藝圈、網路文化、身為母親（她的新書主題）... 等議題的價值觀。 ------- 411mania Interviews: Mayim Bialik Posted by Al Norton on 09.23.2010 http://tinyurl.com/27p2t6n 411's Al Norton sits down for an exclusive interview with Mayim Bialik to talk about The Big Bang Theory, her new book, and getting acting work post-Blossom. ----------------------------------------------------------------- While Mayim Bialik will probably always be best known for Blossom, she has been quite busy the last few years, with roles on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bones, Till Death, Saving Grace, and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Her biggest role lately has been as Amy, Sheldon's love interest, on CBS' hit comedy The Big Bang Theory, which returns for its fourth season tonight at 8 pm. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Al Norton: How did the role on Big Bang come to be? Mayim Bialik: I auditioned for it and I got it. Al Norton: Was it something you new could become recurring when you walked in or did you think it was a one shot deal? Mayim Bialik: When you're called to these sorts of auditions they often will say things like "possible recurring" and that's what this one was listed as, "one episode, possible recurring." When I got it I was told that there was probably two episodes in the new season, and I've already done two plus am booked for two more, so that's good. Al Norton: With this role in specifically and your post-Blossom career in general, how hard it is to get casting directors to see you in a different light. Mayim Bialik: It really depends. I'm older than a lot of casting people (laughing), which is kind of sad for me but it's sometimes helpful. It depends on the role, on the personality, and on the openness. A lot of people know that I went to school and got a PHD, so I think that helps broaden their concept of me and then it's up to them to decide how different I look and how I can be seen in a part. This role on Big Bang, I actually got to see some of the episodes we've done this season and they have me dressed very frumpy and they really cover up my figure, so I look a lot different than even I see myself and that's what creative producers like Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady do, they think creatively. Al Norton: How familiar with the show with you before you go the part? Mayim Bialik: I had never seen the show. I didn't even know what it was. I have a five year old and a two year old and I don't really watch TV (laughing). I googled who Jim Parsons was the night before the audition. Al Norton: Is it intimidating to walk on the set of a show where not only have they had a chance to gel for three seasons but also where they are a massive ratings hit? Mayim Bialik: Yes. You don't need to have seen half an episode to know it's powerful to walk on the set of a show that functions really well, that doesn't really need you (laughing). They've done fine without you as a guest star. Plus they have a whole community and camaraderie, knowing each other's personalities. It's hard to be the new kid on the block, and even harder to be the new uncool kid on the block (laughing). They're all very comfortable there. I remember when we were doing Blossom and we had a guest star that was coming on to the set of a show that was working well and it is intimidating. It's been very interesting and humbling and that's part of the acting experience. Al Norton: I was going to ask you how different it was to see Jim when he wasn't being Sheldon but for you, having not seen the show, it might be the other way, meeting him as himself and then seeing the transformation into Sheldon. Mayim Bialik: When I got the call for the audition I was told, "they want a female Jim Parsons", to which I replied, "who's Jim Parsons?" Then I looked him up and learned his character, which was the most important part of my research. To meet him was like really meeting someone I only knew as this character. It's not Shakespeare but there is a method to the way some actors perform and I found that Jim and I have a very similar approach. We're pretty cerebral in our approach. There's a lot of instinct involved, too, and we had a lot of the same ideas about our characters. He's tremendous to work with. There's a reason he won the Emmy. I often want him to do line readings of my lines so I can hear how he would do it. The show has a remarkable writing, producing, and directing team and I've never been on a set like it. Al Norton: What is the talk on the set about the move to Thursdays? Mayim Bialik: I think everyone is excited. It's really great potential and it shows a lot of faith in confidence in the show. Anytime you move there is… not so much uncertainty but there is a shift that has to happen behind the scenes and with publicity but they've been doing a great job with that. Al Norton: Is it on a daily basis that people come up to you and reference Blossom? Mayim Bialik: No, I wouldn't say daily (laughing). Maybe weekly. Al Norton: If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice when that whole ride was starting… Mayim Bialik: I think I might have appreciated it more if I had valued what I was doing more. I was a very intuitive young actor, I wasn't trained from the time I was 2 or 3. I started acting because I liked it. I don't think I thought of it as a talent but more something I was good at, more like a hobby. I think if I had valued myself more I might have had more confidence. I think it took becoming an adult for me to get that confidence. It's a similar experience to becoming a parent where you're humbled over and over and then you get to the point where you say, "I'm not perfect but I have skills and I will use them for good over evil." Al Norton: How much harder do you think it is for teen actors now, dealing with the level of intensity of celebrity, than it was for you? Mayim Bialik: I don't know if I'd put it on a scale but it's much harder. I have an interest in female actors, because I am one, and I think the standards for women in a lot of ways have sort of reverted to the things we were trying to not have it be about. I think it's swung back again to a lot more about looking ideal, looking perfect, looking very, very thin, and I think that' s hard, especially for young actresses. I think there is an emphasis on looking runway perfect when you're a teenager and if you go back to really any season of Blossom, besides the fact that I was an unconventional lead actor in terms of physicality, even at our fanciest we looked like teenagers dressed up. We didn't look like adults. I think the internet has completely transformed what all actors lives are like, how much people get to know about us, what parts of our lives everyone has access to. And there is now an arena for really random, spontaneous snarkiness that seems to serve no other purpose than what some people see as entertaining, to find the meanest, nastiest, cruelest things you can say about them and have a blog. It really baffles me. My husband thinks I sound like a fuddy-duddy when I say that I don't think we need the internet for that purpose. I think it says a lot about our culture and what it's like and how ubiquitous it is to use curse words to describe people's appearance. Al Norton: You're writing a book. Mayim Bialik: I am writing a book. It sort of just happened. It's about being a parent. I like to say that I don't know how everyone should raise their kids; I just know how I should raise mine. And even that changes. We happened to follow a style of parenting that falls under the general umbrella of Attachment Parenting, and I'm the spokesperson for the Holistic Mom's Network, an organization dedicated to Holistic parenting and living, and I kept getting told by people that even though they don't agree with me, they thought I presented it very nicely, not sounding judgmental or like I was telling people what to do. My training is as a neuroscientist, I'm not a pediatrician, and there are plenty of good parenting books out there that I'm happy to recommend to people, but what I'm writing is what it looks like in my family and why the principals of Attachment Parenting make sense based on neurobiology and attachment theory. Plus there are a lot of anecdotal experiences from our family that, again, don't have to work for everyone but if there is any aspect from our funny or touching experiences as parents that might help other people's parenting, that's really what I'm writing about. Al Norton: When will that be in stores? Mayim Bialik: Spring, 2012. Al Norton: What can you tell me about the new season of Big Bang? Mayim Bialik: Sheldon and Amy have a very unique relationship (laughing). It's very entertaining for the audience, the way that this relationship unfolds. They have managed to create a relationship where Sheldon does not have to change one bit from the way people know him. That's what is really bizarre, that we've created a relationship that works with him being just as he is. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.165.98
