 
GW: Can you explain that?
AF: A life coach is basically a coach. What a coach would do for a team is that you inspire your athletes, you get them on diet programs, or training programs that are going to get them to be the best athletes they can be. Well, a life coach basically helps enables people to help themselves, empowers people to get the tools that they need to make successes that they feel that they can be. So you coach them along, and you train them. They have a goal, and you coach them up until they meet that goal.
GW: Do you currently have a protégé?
AF: No, not at this time. Like I said, I am focusing on my 10-year empire. So, I am working on smaller, other projects as well. They say this is the year of the bull, where all the seeds you have been planting, your hard work, this is what it all is right now. I see an empire that involves many different facets of creativity.

A thing that draws that all together, part of the life coaching, enabling people, is with acting, getting people confident with public speaking, et cetera et cetera, being able to go into job interviews. I use the acting in that; it is all a big spaghetti. They are all interlaced in there somehow.
GW: All roads lead to one.
AF: Yeah! And it really does. In my writing, which is sort of essay style, pretty much the stories that I tell, that's how I write as well. So taking life lessons or things that have happened to me, and then writing them. So I see 10 years this empire of writing, acting, I don’t know.
GW: For us, the Wraith was the big thing for us.
AF: This far.
GW: The last time we saw you, I don’t think "Allies" had even aired.
AF: I think it was second season. We had just filmed it, because you asked me a question and I was like [whistling]. I couldn’t tell you about it. I remember there was a spoiler.
GW: Aside for one episode, you were the Wraith queen every single time.
AF: Yeah.
GW: You were that character’s identity. Did you see the episode where the other character played?
A new queen faces off against Teyla in Season Five's "The Queen." | |
AF: I did see a little bit of it and when I did see it that's when I made my theory connection about the height -- to make that story line believable and the Wraith queen had to look like Teyla as the Wraith queen. That was my theory.
I don't know if you were in the room when I was talking and someone had asked that question about the last episode ("The Queen"), my theory is that to make that storyline believable, they needed to have a Wraith queen that could be similar to Teyla, so that Teyla could look like she could pass for a Wraith queen. And her and I are [height-wise] very different. It wouldn’t have looked very believable.
GW: There was another queen in that episode with a very distinct face. Very different in terms of shape compared to you.
AF: I've seen clips of it. What I did see was the one with Teyla, and again I think they were trying to make it look like there is more than one look of a queen because up until that point we all looked like me, because they were me.
GW: We discovered that they were cloned. There were a couple floating around out there. A couple of models.
AF: Models. That’s just it, right? It had to [be that way] for that storyline to go.
GW: Were you disappointed to hear that the show was cancelled?
AF: Very.
GW: Were you hoping to come back again?

"My theory is that to make ["The Queen"] storyline believable, they needed to have a Wraith queen that could be similar to Teyla."
|
AF: I was hoping, well obviously, I love the character so much. But also, I would have liked to see the Wraith develop so much more. You know how the Borg became developed. I really wanted to see the Wraith really get dissected. I thought that's where the storylines were going. Especially with the birthing chair, and how they were cloned, and how it was telepathy, all that stuff.
I was sad to see the story end because I thought it was the time for the Wraith to start to shine. Also, because of Christopher [Heyerdahl] and his character. We were really starting to come out. So, it was sad to see that.
GW: Well the movie's on its way.
AF: That’s it exactly.
GW: Have they been in contact with you about that?
AF: No, no. But, like I said there are other projects going on that I have been doing, scheduling stuff. But, no, unfortunately not.
