Tout ce qui a été dit sur Cordy

Charisma Carpenter:

Citation :

"Cordelia is a ray of sunshine in a gloomy town called L.A...Cordelia is very passionate...She feels everything 110%. She's also very truthful and forthcoming. You always know where you stand with her. She's a survivor and a realist."

Citation :

"Cordelia is honest and forthcoming, and I'm like that, too. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's not. I'm more down-home and athletic than she is. She has to be fixed up to go grocery shopping."

Citation :

"For months I've been begging, 'When do I get to punch somebody’ When do I get to stake a vampire’' And now I am and it's so much fun,"

Citation :

"She is working towards redemption herself, in a way, because she was such a bitch before! Now she had depth and dexterity, meaning and purpose in her life. So those are all things that I really wanted to work toward. All good drama. And all that has come to fruition, so I really don't have anything left now!"

Citation :

"I wish I was as witty as she is but I think she has influenced me. One of my favourite lines is, 'That's just propaganda spouted out by the ugly and less-deserving.' She says hilarious stuff."

Citation :

"Cordelia has purpose and meaning; she knows what her life’s work is about. She has had disappointment. She has dealt with death. She’s a real, bona fide person. That’s rewarding.’

Sur le fait qu'elle voudrait que Cor botte des fesses

Citation :

"That’s something I would really like to do. I would like to be a female Arnold Schwarzenegger.’

Citation :

"And I know David really loves writing for my character and it shows. I mean, he's got her dialed in really well and I can hear him, almost, saying it."
"I am Cordelia" Greenwalt joked.
"He's not kidding," Carpenter added.

Sur le fait d'être Vision Girl

Citation :

"I kneed David [Borenaz] in the groin once when I was pretending to have a fit."

Alexis Denisof:

Citation :

"They tried their luck at romance, and failed, but they've come out of it closer than ever. Since they know each other so well they feel free to bicker and trade insults. So that's a delightful relationship. It may have a complicated history, but it's also real and has several sides to it. Wesley and Cordelia would lay down their lives for one another."

Citation :

"As for Cordelia, he was blown away by her at first. Here's a guy who came from a strict English educational system and also someone who's devoted his life to being a Watcher. That's a 24/7 job, which doesn't leave a lot of time for a social life. As I said before, when Wesley came to Sunnydale, he hadn't had much experience with women. It's not as if he'd never encountered them before, but it wasn't an area where he felt either confident or comfortable. This was especially true when he was confronted with a bombshell like Cordelia. Let's just say that for a while there he was at a loss for words!"

Joss Whedon:

Citation :

"She’ll still be somewhat self-involved and in her Cordelia bubble - which is her charm"

Citation :

"Why Cordelia’ Because David Greenwalt, the first words out of his mouth when I pitched the show to him were, 'You've got to put Cordelia in there, because she undercuts all of Angel's suffering. She's the polar opposite of the world he lives in. She'd be a perfect foil and a perfect Gal Friday for him."

David Greenwalt:

Citation :

"She was certainly one of my most favorite characters. I've always wanted to do a coffee table book called The Wit And Wisdom of Cordelia Chase."

Citation :

"She was a character created by Joss mainly on Buffy The Vampire Slayer for many years and she was somewhat shallow, somewhat vain, somewhat self-centered but a lively and honest character who spoke her mind."

Citation :

"Cordelia Chase is almost 180 degrees a different character than she was. She’s still very blunt, a tad vain and very funny, but she now has these tremendous visions that are literally killing her and she’s become a bit of a superhero herself."

Leave it to Angel's longtime missing-in-action heroine Cordelia Chase to, well, cut to the chase with her old vampire boss. "Spike's a hero, and you're CEO of Hell, Inc. What frickin' bizarro world did I wake up in?"

As Angel fans know, and have been anticipating for months, Cordelia emerges from her mystical coma just in time to rejoin her hero buddies for the WB series' landmark 100th episode (Feb. 4, 9 pm/ET). This episode, written and directed by David Fury, is titled "You're Welcome" — the meaning of which becomes unforgettably clear in the show's final moments. It's an homage to Cordelia, a tribute to the wonderfully witty performance by the much-missed Charisma Carpenter, and a reminder of the show's overriding themes of redemption, sacrifice and teamwork. (There's even a poignant nod to Doyle, Angel's ill-fated first sidekick, played by the late Glenn Quinn.)

Carpenter is a joy, and her blithe comic delivery brings a renewed vigor to the show and to her co-stars: not just David Boreanaz, either. Watch Wesley (Alexis Denisof) beam — a rare trait for the guy these days — as he watches his snarky associate back in her groove.

Cordy's purpose in returning has everything to do with Angel's disillusionment in his new corporate role. It's not a secret that nearly everyone (including the show's viewers) has had a difficult period of adjustment with Angel & Co. operating from the plush halls of evil law firm Wolfram & Hart. Cordy's startled reaction — "You've made a deal with the devil" — reminds us what a risky gambit this was.

And Cordy is so not impressed with Eve (join the club). Confronted with this devious liaison to the Senior Partners, Cordy snipes, "And I thought Darla was rock bottom," in one of several peerless disses.

I loved last week's episode, which involved a visit by Buffy's fey villain-turned-hero Andrew (Tom Lenk), who brought news of old friends along with a mandate to retrieve a renegade psycho-slayer. But this episode is better, richer, packing an emotional wallop as it honors Cordelia, a female hero who evolved from spoiled brat to one of the best, most loyal and brave friends a vampire champion could ever hope to know.

Chicago Tribune:

Citation :

"Whether she's scheming to get Angel, Buffy's vampire boyfriend, or flitting off to get her legs waxed, Cordelia is one of a kind."

Cult Times:

Citation :

"Cordelia Chase...a spoilt rich girl who is unwittingly involved in much of the local weirdness, and always has a putdown ready."

Sophisticate's Hairstyles:

Citation :

"Cordy, Cordy, Cordy...The girl you loved to hate on Buffy -- but secretly admired for her straight-out-of-the-mouth nasty comments."

Rolling Stone:

Citation :

"As the haughty Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Carpenter could always be counted on to 'find the bitch within'...Delivering confidence-shattering missives to her poorer, less genetically-gifted classmates ("I could dress more like you," Cordelia once offered, "but, oh, my father has a job.") Carpenter’s character went from minor villain to major ass kicker in Buffy’s undead fighting clique."

TV Zone:

Sur Birthday

Citation :

"It's been argued that Angel works best when it's 'the Cordy Show'. After this superbly entertaining episode, with its footage of a breezy TV show called just Cordy (title song by Greenwalt and Noxon included) that seems an eminently reasonable point...Here, we see how much harder the lot of Angel, Wesley and Gunn would have been without Cordy."

Sur Provider

Citation :

"It is, however, unfortunate that this episode lacked some of the humor and warmth that only Cordelia knows how to bring."

ScoopMe!:

Citation :

"What started out as a supporting character on one show is now the female lead on another. What began as a potentially one-note character has emerged, over time, as a fleshed-out and intriguing figure ‘ one who’s still blunt, outspoken and stylishly clad."

Sur Soulles

Citation :

"Cordelia’s shown she’s tough and in control, even when it comes to dealing with something as evil and calculating as Angelus."

Cinescape:

Citation :

"But the real attention grabber is Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), the character who experiences the most growth this season. Initially she's just like she was on BUFFY: snotty, self-absorbed, and sarcastic to a fault. Even then, she's immensely likeable, even though we know she'd probably give none of us the time of day. But her slowly building attraction to Doyle, tragically unfulfilled at the time of his death, and his gift to her of his blindingly painful prophetic visions, are what really make her blossom. When she first manifests her powers in "Sense & Sensitivity," her reaction is the same as any of ours would be: she wants these visions gone, and she wants them gone now. But by the time we get to the season finale "To Shanshu in L.A.," in which she suffers a grueling hours-long barrage of visions which almost kills her, the first thing she says when she comes back to reality isn't how much she wishes she didn't have this burden ‘ she instead talks about all the people she saw in danger and suffering and insists they must help them all. It's a beautiful moment, and one which makes us adore Cordy (and Charisma) forever."

Bon, c'est pas vraiment sur Cor, per se, mais:

Citation :

It's evident that the actor is enjoying his role in the series as much as ever, always eager to praise the high standard of writing, production and performance. Given that the show is always praised for its witty, distinctive dialogue, what are Head's favourite Buffy soundbites? "I still love, 'What is your childhood trauma?'" he laughs. " Oh, and 'Spank your inner moppet!'"

Anthony a cité deux répliques de Cor comme ses préférés ^^

Dans un article de 2000, Duel of the Demons:

Certaines ont peut-être déjà été postées, mais j'ai la flemme de vérifier. Puis mieux vaut deux fois que pas du tout

New citation dee CC:

Citation :

With Cordy and Angel in the You're Welcome scene, she's saying goodbye to him but we always wanted them together and here she is walking back in and laying a kiss on him, helping him get back on track and telling him all the things he's meant to her, really verbalizing it. She gets to say "this is what you mean to me, what you've always meant to me", and at the same time she knows she's never going to get it, and that's an awful horrible terrible thing and I think people really related to that. She was such an endearing character in her growth over the seasons and when you mix those dynamics, when you finally get to say what needed to be said so long ago, it's so powerful.

Luckily for Charisma, fans know she's nothing like her on-screen character. "I think I've been around long enough that people know it's the character and not me," she says, "but I did have that experience with Cordelia - I wasn't approached at all with her at first, but at the end when I was doing Angel and stuff and Cordelia changed so much I noticed a warming of the fans.

"People in the early years thought, 'Is she safe to approach?!' Then her character was fleshed out and became more human and approachable."

Considérant son rôle de bitch au début, je comprends que les gens aient eu quelques appréhensions Mais bon, c'est toujours le problème, les gens tendent à confondre les acteurs avec le rôle qu'ils jouent ^^
