Mr X asks:
Tricia, would you like to be remembered for any particular achievement (past, present or future), and if so what would that be?

Tricia says:
I'd like to be remembered for being a kind, honorable, hard working person. I'd rather be remembered for being a good person, than a particular achievement - although an Oscar wouldn't be bad, haha.

Andrew asks:
Are you as seductive and able to make men bend over backwards with just a glance, as you are in Battlestar Galactica? :-)
How are thing now, since the popularity of the show have gone through the roof?
-- 2006-11-03 18:07:47
Tricia says:
Haha, I don't know about that. I'm much more normal in real life and actually quite a bit of a goof. That's not to say that I haven't been intimidating to some men, but that's usually more there issue than mine. I don't set out to be intimidating. As for what it's like for me now that the show is successful - well, most people don't recognize me when I don't have the white wig on. I look quite different when I'm off set so I don't really come across it as much as other actors on the show.

laurafhl asks:
I regret to say that I never saw you before your role in BSG and I must say I think it has to be one of the most (if not the most)challenging roles on the show.
When the Chief held Boomer in his arms as she died and when Baltar helped Gina in prison was when I really began to see the complex nature of the cylon as portrayed in fiction of course LOL.
But you do it so beautifully. Honestly Sharon (the Boomer model) is my next favorite actor in the show.
Now for the question. If "we" humans made you, and you are human in every way with the addition of some mechanical insight, (honestly you seem more like clones than machines to me) how can we possibly justify destroying you? What is your own personal insight into that delemna? Thanks. Laura

Tricia says:
I agree that the humans shouldn't destroy the cylons, and the same in reverse - that the cylons shouldn't destroy the humans. You're question is basically one of the main premises of the show. Who has the right to destroy who? Should anyone be destroyed? Who is right? Are both sides wrong? I think that's one of the strongest things about the show, is that it makes people think and discuss. It's not couch potato fare.

littlebigman asks:
Have you ever been or thought of being a Bond girl :)
-- 2008-04-26 04:42:53
Tricia says:
No, I haven't been a Bond girl although I have thought about it. I quite liked the last one and I think Daniel Craig makes an excellent Bond. I certainly would be interested if they came calling, but, that hasn't happened yet.

CyberViking2000 asks:
I noticed in a Petra magazine cover (in your web site) that you were wearing a dress with straps forming a pentagram. Did the magazine do that deliberately, or was it just chance? Why do I ask? Just curiosity. BSG plot twists have that effect on people. :)
-- 2008-04-18 02:26:21
Tricia says:
The cover you're talking about is in the "archive" section of my site and was taken years ago, when I started modeling. I think I was 18 years old because I have my natural brunette hair colour. Not long after that it was cut off and dyed blonde. Of course, it has been practically every colour and cut since. I digress, no, it had nothing to do with BSG.

Camus72 asks:
Hello there,
I would interested to know your thoughts concerning the albeit fairly loose concept of the ‘cult of celebrity’ pertaining, more specifically, to that of beauty. That is, whilst I would scarcely doubt that you work very hard, and, although I am far from an authority on such matters, you seem to be a more than competent actress, how do you reconcile the fact that your success, fame, and rewards are largely derived from circumstances that stemmed from something largely unearned; that being, in rather blunt terms, your looks? I am loathe to entertain tired clichés but do you ever entertain thoughts that the benefits you enjoy as a result of your circumstances seem grossly disproportionate in terms of the utilitarian value, the sacrifice, and effort of other professions and pursuits? I realise this is potentially a very large topic with multiple factors for consideration, however, I would be very interested to hear a few of your thoughts on this; it’s not everyday you get to ask Hollywood folk such questions! (so thanks for making yourself available to be asked)
Kind regards, Ian.
PS: For what it’s worth, don’t necessarily assume my thoughts on the matter are what you would expect from someone who would be motivated to ask such questions. I’m just curious really.
PPS: When exactly does a model reach the status of ‘super’? Who decides?
-- 2006-11-14 02:37:10
Tricia says:
I understand being curious and won't take this as if it was meant rudely. I also understand that it is a common conception, albeit a misconception, that actors don't work hard but get huge paychecks. People hear about the million dollar per episode or 20 million a movie thing and assume that all actors get paid an insane amount, which of course, is not the case. There's usually never a mention of the 10% commission to the agent, 10% to the manager, 5% to the lawyer, 5% to the business manager and numerous other "work" expenses that fly off your paycheck because that's just not as fun to talk about as the salaries of the highest paid actors. I will admit though, that I do take offense to you insinuating that I don't work very hard. Acting isn't digging ditches and it's not brain surgery but that's not to say that there isn't a lot of work involved, REGARDLESS what the person looks like. Just like I could never say how hard someone else works that is in a different profession than me, someone else can't say that I don't work hard if they've never stood in my shoes. I'm not complaining here, I'm just saying it's "the grass is always greener" scenario. Unless you've followed the exact path as someone in another profession, you can't judge what their life and work entails. It's life and work - just different work. There are many actors that aren't considered handsome/beautiful, so does that mean they work harder than ones that are considered handsome/beautiful? In life there are all sorts of different looking people and TV and film has to show that. Being considered pretty can also be a hindrance because the common perception is that you're not very smart and won't be able to act in the more difficult roles. Hence, you have to work hard to prove that you're more than just a pretty face. I've lost acting jobs where I had done very well in the audition but because I was "too pretty" for the role. It works both ways. I'd actually venture to say that being pretty would help you more in other professions where two people with very similar resumes are up for the same job. Looks don't matter then as it's not a "character" but I'd be hard pressed to say that it doesn't factor in. That's just life and the way society works, unfortunately. As for your model question - personally, I think the whole "super" is ridiculous. I guess it's supposed to mean the top working models, but would you call a top racking doctor a "super doctor?" I don't know how it got started.

Me asks:
How does it feel to have a perfect body and a perfect face? What is it like to be physically perfect? Do you feel that it is a blessing or a curse? What advantages and disadvantages are there to being flawlessly beautiful? Do you think there is a reason you were born physically perfect, or do you think it was luck? Did you have a hard time growing up being so different, or did you not notice it? Do you feel most people are viciously jealous or do you think most people admire and support you? When did you personally realize that you were physically perfect, and how did it change your life?
-- 2007-01-04 00:55:04
Tricia says:
Wow, I don't quite know how to respond aside from that you view me drastically different than I view myself. I'm not physically perfect by far. I'm not saying that I didn't do okay in the genes department, but I'm far from perfect. On TV, film and photo shoots there is a lot of attention on lighting, hair/makeup and retouching that definitely helps to improve flaws. I grew up very normal and still feel I am very normal. There are certainly some people who are close minded and choose to have a jealous attitude from a first glance, but there are probably a lot of things that bother them. Most people delve a little deeper and find out what you're like.

kepart asks:
Do you ever have dreams about the mechanical cylons? If so, are they scary dreams, or are the cylons your buddies? (Do they join you on motorcycle rides?)
-- 2008-03-10 02:40:35
Tricia says:
I've never had a dream about the centurions - at least not that I can remember.

STEVE SPEEGLE asks:
I SAW YOU ON LENO. 4-11
YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY INTELLIGENT. WHAT OCCUPATION WOULD YOU HAVE IF YOU WERE NOT A STAR?
-- 2008-04-12 02:05:25
Tricia says:
I'd like to think I'm intelligent, but ya never know, haha. If I hadn't followed the modeling path and then started acting, I would have most likely gone into psychology. Possibly with animals, animal behaviorist, although I hadn't quite decided yet. I was about to start applying to universities when I was approached by a model scout and decided to give that a whirl.

DandK asks:
1. What did you think went you attended your first scifi convention?
I personally have never been able to attend one, but would love to just for the chance to meet
the BSG gang, but I can imagine when you first got thrown into the world of fantasy and scifi,
it must have been pretty weird....
2. If you were to suggest a trip to canada, which part/city/province would you recommend?
A few friends of mine took a trip two years ago to Vancouver and the surrounding area. They
still talk about it like the promised land...they also said that the average person up there seemed
more educated than in the USA...apparently both of them got into some heated arguments
up there about...of course...US politics (being an immigrant myself I don`r feel bad saying it either...:-) )
-- 2008-04-08 01:39:14
Tricia says:
Scifi conventions are quite unique. Each one has a twist on their theme. Meaning, some are geared more towards comics, or video games, or television shows, or illustrations, etc. There is a lot to see if that is something you are interested in, and most people I meet there are enjoying themselves. I like to get out and meet BSG fans and I quite enjoy the Q&A stage sessions, but I only go to about 2 conventions a year.
Canada - well, there are amazing places all over the country. It depends on what you are looking for. I haven't been everywhere myself so I can't really say (it is an incredibly large country). I have to say that I agree with your friends about Vancouver. I would suggest June through September to maximize the natural beauty here. It rains a lot in the winter so it's harder to get out and hike and go boating and such. As for education, I don't really know. I never went to school in the States so I can't compare it to the education I had in Canada. It does seem though that the public school system in Canada is better than the US. Everyone complains about it in the States, whereas not so much in Canada.
