Susanna Thompson (about working with a parrot on 'Dragonfly'): The only way I could work with the animals was to embrace “Emily's” love of animals, and go there because I'm very unsure of animals. I was not raised with animals. As long as I felt her heart with me, then I was fine with it.
Susanna Thompson (about the relationship between her character and Mark Harmon's character on 'NCIS'): Well, you'll see subtle things there because this first episode is just laying the groundwork. It's mainly about the case that they're trying to solve. But you see little moments of him holding the door, and his crew notices that. And I also think you see a sense of jealousy in his crew, like, "Who is this lady?" There's a real protective sense from them about him.
Susanna Thompson (about the relationship between her character and Mark Harmon's character on 'NCIS'): I'm not sure where they'll take it, or how far they'll take it, but certainly they'll take it a couple steps further. I love the dynamic between the two of them. They don't give each other any slack.
Susanna Thompson(when asked why she is an actor): I'm not sure why I do it. There are different elements in my life that led me to this space. I know that when I'm connected I'm tapping into something in me and giving it back to the world in a really beautiful, honest way. If I'm breaking boundaries or pushing the boundaries of complete honesty, of going deeper with emotion, and doing it honestly, I feel that I've connected and given something to this life of mine. Then I also feel that I’m sharing something with someone.
Susanna Thompson (about her character in 'Dragonfly'): This is how I sum her up: I remember this one moment when I was rehearsing when I suddenly realized she's a woman who “includes.” She just keeps including in her life and thoughts, she doesn't exclude. And I thought to myself what it is like to live in a life where you just allow more and more and more to come into your life. That's how I view her.
Susanna: I love the dynamic between Gibbs and Mann. They don't give each other any slack. They're interested in each other on a suppressed level so far.
