LA Times interview with Olivia Williams

adelle_williams1LA Times: When did you know that you were working on something special?

Olivia Williams: There’s an episode where the writing really began to fly. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. The more surreal and bizarre it got the more fun it was to act. You’ve got me in a vulnerable moment because it’s been a very happy set and we just wrapped. The camera guys and the ADs and hair and makeup, everyone just really pulled together to make a great atmosphere where the drama can fly. There’s been very good chemistry between everybody.

So you’re finished shooting the last of this season’s 13 episodes. Without giving anything away, how do you feel about how it all ends?

There is no way to describe how this season ends. There isn’t even a collection of words. It’s so surreal. Even if I wanted to tell you a spoiler, I don’t even think I could explain it to you.

What would you say to potential “Dollhouse” viewers to persuade them to watch?

It will pay off. It will pay off if you stick with it. The first episodes have got the action and the glamour and set up the premise: What if you could buy whatever you wanted? But then you find yourself in a moral haze. “OK, is getting what I want good for me? Is it going to make me happy? Where does it lead morally and what are the implications of creating a fake personality? Do we have souls? If our brains were being wiped, is there anything in the soul that could survive?”

I think the people who are there to see Echo in a bikini –- which is a great thing –- are going to find themselves with a moral dilemma that they might not expect.
