I studied with her and worked with her for two or three weeks. Her spiritual life wasn’t about attending services it was about going inside, going within. She wasn’t a practicing Buddhist anymore, but she was someone who meditated five times a day and lived a highly spiritual life. I remember, before starting rehearsals for Insurrection, I studied with a woman who’d been a Buddhist for many years.

I know how to go to my own version of that, but living there, remaining there under stress is not always so easy. Murphy: I loved the centered sense of self she had, which is something I always aspire to. What interested you about Anij as a character? Brent (Spiner) and Patrick would say, “Come on, let’s sing something from Sunday in the Park.” So there were more show tunes being sung on that set than on any other film I’ve ever been on. I could have felt kind of ostracized in that situation, but on the contrary, they were so welcoming. I was working with a company of actors that had worked together for years. And the thing about working on Insurrection was I was stepping onto a moving train. People always said, “Oh, you probably had a lot of blue screen or green screen work on the film, where you had to pretend you were being fired on…,” and I’d say, “Yeah, there was some of that stuff, but there was a lot that was right there that was quite stunning.” You felt like you were in a magical place and you knew you were out of your own natural, familiar element. I’m drawing a blank on specifically where we were, but these locations were stunning. and then we flew up north and were helicopter-ed into a location way up in the mountains. We actually shot in a couple of locations. Murphy: I remember the beautiful locations, things that were constructed (at Paramount) and then we went up north and shot (the Ba’ku village scenes) in the mountains. What do you remember most about the production?
That was something where I went in, had a meeting, auditioned, and was thrilled when they came back and said they wanted to me to do the film. And most of my work was with Patrick Stewart, who I think is a fabulous actor. I wasn’t going to be buried underneath some of those amazing makeup designs it was appealing to me that I’d have a human face. I thought that the opportunity to step into that world, if you will, was too good to pass up.
