Danielle Lozeau: I enjoyed everyday working on set. Each day spent on the plate was rather intense and all was new and exciting.

Danielle Lozeau: I was retained for the role at the end of last December and I started to work on it at the beginning of January. I auditioned with the director of casting and David Nutter. A few days after, he called my agent to ask whether I would form part of the pilot. It was my first project in New Mexico at this time, since I had just moved in.
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: One can see you in an incredible scene of this episode in which Cromartie is made pass for a professor. Owain Yeoman which plays the part of Cromartie has the really malicious air in this scene. How was it between the catches?
Danielle Lozeau: It was brilliant to work with Owain Yeoman! It gives so much in front of to the camera in the role of the terminator and it plays so well. In slides, Owain is somebody who was very easy to start a conversation with, very nice to be around.
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: In this scene, you were to show yourselves completely frightened. Which were the instructions of David Nutter?
Danielle Lozeau: The instructions that David Nutter gave us for the scenes were "This type leaves its weapon to aim John Connor, and I want to see you frightened, I want to see you shouting and I want that you precipitate on the ground to leave the free field. Panic when you see the leg of the terminator. I want that you look it with dislike of the kind ' What it is that that?' You had never seen such a thing before and you are afraid, you are confused and in a state of shock ".
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: I intended to say that this scene could be censured because of what occurred to Virginia Tech. Do you know if it will act of all the scene or right some parts?
Danielle Lozeau: According to information which I have, the scenes in the classroom with Terminator were thus censured it will remain only some parts about it. Much of what was turned will be cut. When the Pilot is diffused, we will see what will really remain.
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: The tragedy of Virginia Tech took place after the turning of this episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Knowing what you had you turned in this scene of the Pilot, how reacted when you learned this tragedy last April?
Danielle Lozeau: In fact, I had never really associated the series with the tragedy of Virginia Tech. Shooting was done in several times thus I had not had the occasion to see the complete version of the Pilot until approximately two months ago. The tragedy of Virginia Tech was really very hard to accept. Being in college, it hit home. my prayers and heart go out to all of those
families.
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: Which is your best memory on the Pilot?
Danielle Lozeau: The best moment I had during the pilot, was one of
the scenes that ended up getting cut, but the scene where my desk exploded. They had put an explosive under my desk. The explosive was to go off when the terminator starts shooting at John Connor, and I was told to get out of the desk as soon as the first shot was fired and the second shot was when it was to blow up. I had to leap onto the floor and cover my head.
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: After this Pilot, do you know if we will re-examine you in other episodes of the series?
Danielle Lozeau: I am not sure if the scenes I did will actually make the show, because most of the school stuff was being cut due to the Virginia Tech Shootings. I do hope something does make it in the end, but I do
understand the reasons to most of it being cut. I dont know if I will appear in any other of the episodes, it could happen, if they decide to use the other footage later down the road. We will have to see on that.
TheSarahConnorChronicles.fr: Your last project under development (at least I think that it was the last) is "The Eye" at the sides of Jessica Alba and Parker Posey. Can you say some to us more on your role?
Danielle Lozeau: Yes! This project came just after The Sarah Connor Chronicles. My role in this film intervenes at the end of film but I cannot to really say, you'll have to wait and see. I can statement that I speak with Jessica Alba in the scene and that carries out to much suspense and action! I spent a very good moment working with Jessica Alba and Alessandro Nivola as well as the two incredible directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud. The weather was very cold when we turned because we shot at night and it was at the beginning of March. The film should be in theatres on February 1, 2008!
