“I’m really not sure about having kids. Maybe I’ll shift my view in a couple of years.
“People say things like, ‘You could have the child who makes a big difference to the planet, but we’re not talking about changes happening to the planet in 50 years. It’s more likely to be 20 years and we’re going to be in a mess. Part of me thinks it is not necessarily fair to bring kids into a world like that. It seems selfish to and it is something I have struggled with for the past few years.”

She also talks about his husband Jon Light, their marriage, how is living in different continents because their work, and, of course, about Burn Up.

It’s a great article, totally recomended. To read it, go to Sunday Mail

Burn Up is a nail-biting two-part thriller for BBC Two, starring Neve Campbell, Rupert Penry-Jones, Bradley Whitford and Marc Warren. Neve Campbell plays Holly Dernay.

Who do you play in Burn Up and what attracted you to the project?

I play Holly Dernay; she’s an environmentalist working for the renewables division in an oil company. The script is incredibly well written, which is unusual nowadays. The characters are very strong and the writer is very passionate about this issue and the environment – as am I.

How did you find shooting in your homeland?

I love shooting in Canada, I love coming home. I usually come back once a year to visit my family, but if there’s ever an opportunity to shoot at home, I love to come back and film with Canadians. It’s great to be here in the cold weather – some of the Brits had trouble with the cold, but as I grew up in Toronto, I’m used to it!

Has shooting Burn Up changed your opinion on global issues?

I don’t think doing this has changed my opinion on global warming, as it’s something that I’ve been very concerned about for a number of years, as have many of my friends and family. It’s has been good to learn more about it from the writer’s research though.

What difference does a big budget make to a production, when you’re used to productions like Scream? Do you think the programme becomes more reliant on good story telling?

I think that every piece should be reliant on a strong script and good storyline, but unfortunately some people think that with a big budget they can just get away with some great shoots. Although, I think they don’t realise that the audiences are disappointed, they think if people sit in the seats, then it’s fine and everyone’s happy but that’s not necessarily the case. I think either way, whether this production had a huge or small budget, the great script was there, the committed actors and director were there and if you have those things in place then you should have a good piece.

Last year you presented the UK leg of Live Earth, are issues like this important to you?

Any time that I can help to raise awareness on the subject of global warming, I’m happy to jump on board. Although I’m not going to deny the fact that the great music also attracted me to the concert! One of the things that they asked me to talk to the audience about was what a difference it would make if everybody just unplugged one light bulb in their house. You may not think so, but it would make a massive difference to the environment.

Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1973, Neve Campbell trained as a ballerina before turning to acting and making her name in the teen TV show Party of Five, and the Scream trilogy of horror films. She and the English actor John Light, her second husband, now live in London since marrying in Malibu last year

Goodbye kiss of the temptress

Some actresses will forever be remembered for one scene. Just ask Neve Campbell. The 34-year-old was seared in the imagination of a generation of schoolboys after sharing a swimming-pool kiss with the equally voluptuous Denise Richards in the 1998 film Wild Things.

Flush with the film’s success as well as her starring role in the Scream horror film trilogy, Campbell celebrated by treating herself to a Porsche in which to roar around the party circuit of Los Angeles. But today, sitting in the shivering cold of Calgary, in her native Canada, she seems a world away from the sports-car-driving temptress of the 1990s. For a start, she has married John Light, the English actor, and moved away from LA to settle in London.

She has also swapped the steamy film roles for more worthy projects: she is in Canada filming a two-part thriller called Burn Up, to be shown by the BBC in July. Set in the worlds of oil, politics and global warming, it’s scripted by Simon Beaufoy, writer of The Full Monty.

She plays Holly, an environmentalist who works for a British oil giant’s renewable-energy division. Holly thinks she’s helping to change the company’s ways, unaware that she’s really employed simply to make it seem sincere about its desire to be green.

“Holly is deeply committed to making change and doing good. She wants to make a difference and she doesn’t realise she’s been hired as greenwash. Then she falls for her boss, which is quite unexpected as they have very different points of view,” says Campbell.

She says she has always been involved in environmental issues and helped host the British leg of Live Earth last year. Naturally, that meant the Porsche had to go. “I had it for seven years,” she says. “It was green, by colour, not CO2 output, and it was a fantastic car. I have a BMW now, but I’m seriously thinking of getting a Toyota Prius. It just makes sense, it’s better for the environment.” Campbell says she is also trying to keep a lower profile in London than she did in America, avoiding the usual celebrity haunts. “I feel very at home in London and it is refreshing to be more anonymous there,” she says. “I always find it odd when celebrities say it is so hard to stay away from the paparazzi, as it is really simply down to where you choose to go out to.”

Campbell was born in 1973 to immigrant parents (her mother is from Amsterdam and her father from Glasgow) and initially dreamt of making it as a dancer after winning a scholarship to Canada’s prestigious National Ballet School at the age of nine. At 14 she left to join the chorus of a production of The Phantom of the Opera in Toronto, where she performed 800 shows over two years. While on stage she was spotted by a television talent scout and subsequently cast in the hit US teen drama Party of Five.

However, it was her role in Scream in 1996 – a sleeper-hit that grossed more than $173m worldwide and spawned a whole genre of horror films – that made her an international star.

“I was unprepared for fame,” she says. “I’d expected to be a dancer, making very little money, and thought I’d probably live in a one-bedroom apartment until I was 35, dancing all day and dealing with injuries. Instead, I was working on Party of Five for nine months of the year, then during each hiatus I did a film, because that meant I would have a career beyond the show. I did that for seven years straight and it was exhausting.”

She moved to LA, but has mixed memories of the city. “I lived in LA for 13 years and I never felt at home there,” she admits. “It seemed very foreign to me, very one-track. It’s all about the film industry and I started to feel very uninspired because there was no real life to be inspired by.”

Driving in LA was a completely different experience from driving in Canada: “LA is a tough city. You can’t afford to have road rage. If someone cuts me up, I just let them do their thing. You can’t give someone the finger because they’ll just pull out their gun.”

As an actor, Neve has sustained an interesting career marked by a wide variety of projects, many of them independent films, in a notoriously fickle business. She began with Phantom of the Opera. “I danced a bit, sang in the chorus, but an agent in the audience one night thought they saw something, and it really began from there,” she says. Neve was in the National Ballet School of Canada and was a dancer before she was a professional actor in any meaningful way. read more…

Unlike our neighbors to the South, Canada isn’t a nation known to boast. That isn’t to suggest, however, that we don’t have plenty to be proud of.
