Holly Hunter For More Magazine
Holly Hunter loves to explode expectations—about women, morality, aging and the need to always be in control. In the July/August issue of More, Saving Grace’s wild woman reveals everything from the chaos of raising twins to playing the toughest, lustiest cop on TV. Excerpts from the interview, on newsstands June 30, follow:
About those steamy Saving Grace scenes:
“That’s something that I love—the iconic female in the act of surrender.” As she sees it, surrender is part of sex “for any female, unless you are a dominatrix. What’s interesting is to see someone go, god, I want to go off the cliff. Grace says yes to situations that are not about being a control freak. It’s the primitive versus the civilized. The raw versus the polished...Grace loves dealing with chaos.”
How she feels about chaos:
“Well, you know, I’ve got plenty.” Her famous Georgia twang gets almost growly, and when she laughs, it’s a low, mischievous chuckle. “I’m home in it. I could weep with how at home I am in it.”
About having creative freedom with her role in Saving Grace:
“My idea of entertainment is also a lot about provocation. We live in highly moralistic times, and I revel in the glory of Grace—somebody who’s exercising an elemental muscle that is not politically correct. Grace feels like a release culturally for me, and I want to express that!”
What she has in common with Grace:
