If you could go back to the beginning of Farscape, would you do anything differently? Question from Foodcube
Hello Foodcube, that's a very bizarre name you have there, darling,
The only thing that I used to wish could be different, all the time was, "I wish I didn't look like the TARDIS,", you know, the Doctor Who TARDIS which is this great blue big telephone booth. I felt a little bit like that as Zan because I'm an absolute giant of a woman, I really am very tall. In heels I'm about 6 foot 3.
The costume designer, Terry Ryan, and all the wardrobe girls and boys would dress me every day, and every single day I'd say, "Oh please can I have a catsuit, please can I have a catsuit and a couple of guns and please can I crawl across roof tops and kill a few baddies.," [They got] sick and tired of me saying that, which is one of the reasons why I got the catsuit in that one episode, (Liars, Guns and Money). I played Oralla with the eye patch.
So I would have liked Zhaan [to have been] in something a little bit sexier. It would have been nice to have her in a, let's say, a blue suede catsuit.
Obviously she's a priest, so she had to be in very elegant and very respectful spiritual ceremonial robes, and I was very happy, very pleased to wear those beautiful costumes designed by Terry. But there were so many layers to the costume that sometimes it was hard to get around and I used to trip over, and I did feel a little bit like the TARDIS, because with all the layers I felt massive.
