very nice interview. She seems like a really nice, genuine person. Unfortunately, I think I’m too young for her.
On a side note, if there’s ever a movie with her and Angelina Jolie (my absolute favorite actress), I’d go insane! The most lucious lips in hollywood, together! 
Loved the mention about a possible LEXX movie, and the comic project.In the interview in question, you may notice that she says that she was never asked for participation in the DVDs (interviews and the like).
This is, in short, not true.
She was asked, and either could not, or would not, record an interview for the discs (the S2 DVDs that were in production while S4 was shooting). So she was asked. In fact, the interviewer asked the question because one of our marketing staff asked him to (he meant it in a half-joking way, not expecting that the interviewer would really ask it).
Just getting this in before the inevitable question arises.

Don’t get me wrong…I’m not claiming that she’s lying or anything. It’s entirely possible that she’s just forgotten that she was asked. I’m just saying that the information she gave in the interview was incorrect.

From the Anne Carlini Interview:
You also have plans for a comic book too ? ”Yes, I do, because I thought that it would be perfect to take those characters (LEXX) and move on with them in comic books. Because people have been saying that ‘they should all be in a video game or a comic book. Why don’t you do that ?’ So, because I’m also writing short stories and stuff therefore I thought it might be a good idea. It doesn’t have to be the same group, but we could start there and we’ll take it off to some new adventures.”
Yo!
I’m your man!
I’m working on it.

From the Anne Carlini Interview:
Standing naked looking at yourself in the mirror, what do you think is your best feature ? ”My eyes,” she instantly responds.
Dammit! That’s been the hardest part of Xev’s videogame character model. I’m stuck on it right now.
When I released the BETA version of the videogame model, one of the most common criticisms was the eyes didn’t look right. In fact, they look a little bit cross-eyed.
I had modeled the character in the “old-fashioned” way. (“Old-fashioned,” meaning they stopped doing it a year or two ago!) The way I had modeled Xev’s face was to make a simple geometric mesh in the general shape of Xenia’s face. But it lacked fine details such as nostril holes, teeth, eyelids and eyelashes. Those fine details were represented using a simple texture map that was projected onto the geometric mesh. (Try to imagine projecting a slide photograph of Xenia onto a featureless wig manequin.) In simple terms, I cheated for the sake of computer memory economics. This practice was common among videogame designers.
Low and behold, I discover that they don’t do that anymore! Yes, some artists are still using the “old-fashioned” way of doing it. It saves time and trouble.
But Xev is important and Xenia is special. She says that her eyes are her best feature, then I agree. In all honesty, her eyes were what struck my interest when I first started watching Lexx. (Not her famous lips or anything else.) She says it’s important and, by God, I’m going to get them right!
Whoo Flame
it will be ok.And Aleck, I’m sure she said that because she didnt want to say why she didnt do it.

No, biggie. I just take pride in my work. I want the sculpture to be as perfect as possible. Days go by without any progress while I think to myself, “What’s it missing? What needs to be changed?”
It would be so much easier if I could have her model in person! lol. There was a method I developed in art school where I take a makeup pencil to the subject’s face, draw grid lines, and then photograph the face from the front and side. This was a much cheaper alternative to rent laser scanning equipment that would cost thousands of dollars. The drawback is that the procedure takes several hours.
What Xenia needs is a man like me!!
Im 15, paintballer, single and swedish!!
Blonde, blue eyes…….aye, we are the same…cept she doesnt play ball….or is 15…or swede
Ahh, forget about it…….
NO NO NO… Xenia is looking for ME! Uh… just don’t tell my girlfriend…

Well, total honesty is too much to expect from an interview with an actress! but it does pique one’s curiousity about why not? from the travelogs of the (notorious) moderators visit to the set she seems rather worn out during shooting….so maybe that is why.
I tend to agree with lizard. And I’d also rule out some sort of behind-the-scenes politics. Xenia seems very eager these days to promote herself and her work of past, present, and future. LOL. She could be saving up all of her Lexx interview energy for another DVD in the future. Hey, why not?
LOL. Oh yeah. I keep forgetting about the main subject of this thread.
I’m the one for Xenia because I wouldn’t cheat on her. I tend to be a hermetic artist, not very interested in a freewheeling
lifestyle. So I’m safe. lol

Well, I wouldn’t say that there were any behind-the-scenes politics behind her not doing any interviews. She just said that she couldn’t, and that could have been for any number of reasons — scheduling, exhaustion, she had the flu, etc. All I was doing was trying to point out that, before anyone asked why we didn’t ask her to contribute, that we did, and she couldn’t. Simple enough. I seriously doubt that she’s saving her energy for a future LEXX DVD interview, though.

Actually, I meant for some other DVD. Or CD-ROM? Liiiiiike… a videogame?
Xenia is not looking for a man, at least that is how I see it. Would you really want to be married to Xenia? Think about it and read over what she said in the interview.
