Namita Nayyar:
You have been active on both television and film. You rose to prominence playing Officer Anastasia Dualla in ‘Battlestar Galactica’, a Sci-Fi Channel series and also for playing Dr. Clementine Chasseur in ‘Hemlock Grove’. According to you which character has been closest to your heart?
Kandyse McClure:
To know Dualla is to know much of me. I was a young actor, mining my life, wandering around in my subconscious making mistakes and figuring it out. She gave me this beautiful challenging opportunity to learn from some of the best in this business and to know who I was an actor and as a person.
Namita Nayyar:
How do you generally kick start your day?
Kandyse McClure:
I am what they call a Lark – so my prime hours are really early in the morning – which is amazing for being on set. When I’m not on set, I’m at the local coffee shop writing, researching, working on whatever project I’m on for a few hours. Then it’s on to a workout and getting ready for the day before making breakfast.
Namita Nayyar:
What exercise routine do you follow to stay fit? Your word on strength training and the significance of stretching?
Kandyse McClure:
I try and balance strength and flexibility. Both are so important, especially as women get older. I like high intensity interval training and do that three times a week, with a couple of days of hot yoga in between. I love hot yoga and also enjoy taking cold showers afterwards. They make me feel like I can conquer anything the day brings.
