AmyJoJohnson Hello!!
NICKPICK195 Hello.
claudia_13 Hi.
spoilerman Hi.
banana622 Hello, hello!
chelsea7792 Hello.
banana622 Hi Amy Jo!!!
giggles2864 Hello.
AmyJoJohnson Hey, guys!
giggles2864 Do you know if Felicity and Ben ever have a chance of getting back together this season??
AmyJoJohnson I probably can't say what happens ... :-)
giggles2864 Hi Amy. How do you like your story line so far this season?
AmyJoJohnson It's starting to pick up and starting to get into this whole music thing. I am starting to have fun. At the beginning my character didn't have a lot going on.
turtlebjm Amy Jo, do you find that your life has changed since the show started?
AmyJoJohnson A lot of things in my life have changed just by getting older and growing and not because of the show, I don't think. Since I started this show my mother passed away and she was my best friend. She's my angel.
Looneychick2000 Hi, I'm Farida and I'm all the way from Curacao ..... I love Felicity.
AmyJoJohnson Cool!
sandity3143 Is Amy Jo Johnson a vegetarian???
AmyJoJohnson No, I am not. I LOVE meat and potatoes! LOL :-)
spoilerman I love you Amy!!
AmyJoJohnson Thank you!
suetingley What is your favorite thing about acting on Felicity?
AmyJoJohnson I think working on a series gives you a lot of time to grow as an actress, 'cause you are constantly doing it every day. I think that I have grown a lot in the last year.
Moderator How long is your typical workday?
AmyJoJohnson It depends; sometimes 14 hours, or sometimes three or four hours. Sometimes if I am in every scene that day, I'll work all day. But TV goes a lot faster than film.
afrodite2000 Hi, I am Brazilian, and I love your show ...
AmyJoJohnson :-)
Gigigi Hi Amy Jo! What do you like to do better, sing or act?
AmyJoJohnson I like them both the same, but differently. I wouldn't trade either one. Singing is more of a personal thing for me. I write my lyrics from my journal. Acting is more of an escape and a pretending to be other people.
mindy4210 I love your song "Puddle of Grace". When will you release an album?
AmyJoJohnson Right now I am just working with my band. We are playing around Hollywood and I am just focusing on that for a while. I play the guitar. :-)
dashfan I really enjoyed your work in Sweetwater and Felicity, and I am interested to know when your solo CD is being released. Also, I am a huge fan of Dash Mihok... what was it like to work with him?
AmyJoJohnson Yeah, right now I am developing the music and working with my band and having fun with it, until it becomes too businesslike for me. :-)
mozie4758 Amy Jo, if you could use only one word to describe each of your cast mates, what would it be for each?
AmyJoJohnson Scott Foley ... funny. Greg ... warm. Amanda ... quirky. Keri ... sweet. Speedy ... speedy. Tangi ... a nut.
catlover992 I have one for Amy Jo .... charming!
AmyJoJohnson Awww ... really? That is VERY sweet. :-)
ghvd513 Which character do you like more, Julie or Kimberly?
AmyJoJohnson I would say Julie for sure. Last year I got more juicy roles and I got to act more ... this year is a little different ....
mozie4758 I'm from the CSFWS Message Board and just wanted to tell you one of our members blasted J.J. for not giving you and Elena more of a storyline, he said this was going to change, I bet your happy about this.
AmyJoJohnson Oh, that's good. Very cool! I need the support! Hehhehehe ... j/k
jasmine_2000_84101 Do you like to play basketball?
AmyJoJohnson That's a funny question! I'm not like a huge fan. I did a movie once where I played basketball ... It's cool. I'm a sports fan, but not necessarily basketball ... I go through phases. Last year I really got into football. This year, you know what, I am going to go skiing this weekend. :-)
mozie4758 What episode number are you filming right now?
AmyJoJohnson I think that we are on 12. I think that we shoot 22.
Looneychick2000 What is it that you like most about Julie??
AmyJoJohnson I love the fact that she plays guitar and sings ... that's fun! And her independence. I think that she is VERY independent.
Moderator How much are you like Julie?
AmyJoJohnson A lot of her is like me, 'cause I AM HER ... LOL. But then there are a lot of things that are different. I think that I go through many phases when I am, and I'm not, like her.
Moderator How much input do you have on your character?
AmyJoJohnson I put a lot of myself in her. I am usually all right with the way it is written ... sometimes I have some input.
natyd674 What do you think about Keri's hairdo?
AmyJoJohnson I think that it's cute. I like it a lot. It's a big change. I've never had really short or long hair, but I think that it's cute ... and that's all that matters. I've wanted to cut it that short. But I can't change it 'cause of the show. 
sandity3143 Do you like tofu hotdogs??
AmyJoJohnson EWWWWW ... I dunno ... hehehhehehe. That's an odd question! LOL I tried tofu turkey, it was awful. SO BAD! ... LOL
fananna Is she going to get together with the roomate (of whom I forgot the name ...)?
AmyJoJohnson I dunno ... I honestly have no idea until I read the next script. I just got a script today and we started filming tonight.
ghvd513 If you could change Julie in any way, what would you do?
AmyJoJohnson Hummmmmm ... I would ... ummmm ... I dunno! Well ... hummm ... if I could change her, then I would make something really crazy happen to her. That would be fun for me!
DarthGravy The episode with you and Felicity strained on the subway was one of your best episodes!
AmyJoJohnson That's nice ... thank you! It got really weird for a while ... pretty claustrophobic.
spoilerman Whats in Meghan's box, and when will that episode air? (Love ya) Happy Holidays.
AmyJoJohnson Happy Holidays to you too! And I am NOT allowed to tell. ;-) I was surprised to hear what was in the box, though.
smiles4carebears Who is the easiest to get along with on the show and why?
AmyJoJohnson I work mostly with Greg and I find him amazing. I think that he is such a warm person. I love working with him. He's funny.
DarthGravy What happened to Dash's character? Did he graduate?
AmyJoJohnson I dunno ... hehehhee. He came in halfway ... he did six episodes.
sugarwaters What do you think - Felicity and Noel or Felicity and Ben?
AmyJoJohnson OOOOH ... that's tough. I can see both. I can see Felicity and Noel ... I can see that 'cause it's safe and comfortable. I see Felicity and Ben, 'cause it's more exciting and crazier. But I can see it both ways.
dashfan Your dog is so cute!!! How is she?
AmyJoJohnson She's great ... she's an American bulldog. Looks like a boxer, pitbull mix. I've had her for three years.
Rosana_Porter What do you think about Felicity and David?
AmyJoJohnson Yeah ... I dunno ... I really like the guy who played David, but personally I think Ben or Noel.
mozie4758 It would be nice to actually see the Felicity cast take a trip somewhere together. Do you think this will happen, something like the road trip?
AmyJoJohnson Right. I dunno, wouldn't that be fun ... we all go to Paris! :-) Hehehehhehe.
ghvd513 You're such a talented actress. Where did you learn how to act?
AmyJoJohnson Thank you VERY much! I've been studying for, like, five or six years and still continue to study and keep growing as an actress.
DarthGravy Would you like to do more movies? Or does TV and music take up enough time? 
AmyJoJohnson I want to do FILM! Hehehhe. That is my goal. That is where I want to be.
smiles4carebears Hi, hi Amy Jo! This is Johanna... What celebrity do you currently have a crush on?
AmyJoJohnson I don't have a crush on any celebrity right now. I may have a crush, but NOT on a celebrity.
DarthGravy Apart from your acting and music, do you have time to just hang out?
AmyJoJohnson Oh yeah ... I make time. I like to hang out with my friends. I like to play music. Walk my dog. Read good books. Paint.
sandity3143 Are you preparing for Y2K?
AmyJoJohnson Personally ... Not really. I'm going skiing ... is that preparing? Hehehhehe. I'm prepared for an earthquake! Hehehehe.
Big_Jey What was the first thing you did on TV?
AmyJoJohnson Power Rangers. I was the pink one. :-)
sugarwaters Any plans to visit Australia?
AmyJoJohnson I would LOVE to go back ... I did a Power Rangers movie in Australia. There are so many places that I want to go see. I definitely will go back. I think that Greece will be my next stop. I went to Paris this summer and I loved it.
mozie4758 Was it uncomfortable being in front of Greg in your bra?
AmyJoJohnson Hehehhehehhee ... ummmmm ... LOL ... Not really, I didn't care.
Moderator Not the typical attire.
AmyJoJohnson I don't have a problem being in my bra. HEHEHHE ... why not? I didn't care. :-) ROFL
spoilerman Is there a BIG cliffhanger for the season finale, that will be about last summer's road trip which Ben & Felicity had?
AmyJoJohnson I have no clue.
ghvd513 How did you learn of the role of Julie? What made you try out for the role?
AmyJoJohnson Just through the process of auditioning. I really loved the script and I got the job, which was wonderful!
Domii1965 Hi Amy.. This is Dominique from Quebec, Canada :-) Can you tell me a little spoiler about what is going to happen to Julie ? :-)
AmyJoJohnson She is going to get more into her music.
mozie4758 Amy Jo, is Scott Speedman as shy as he seems?
AmyJoJohnson Absolutely NOT. Hehehhee.
Rosana_Porter What's the most difficult scenes in this series .... the comedy part or drama?
AmyJoJohnson For me ... I think I have a more difficult time with the comedy than with the drama. I watch Mary Tyler Moore and others and I wish I was blessed with the timing ... It's all in the timing.
spoilerman Do you actually tape some parts of Felicity in NYC?
AmyJoJohnson Yeah we do, we were there a couple weeks ago. We shoot some exteriors.
Big_Jey When did you start to play guitar? It is really kind of you to do this chat, I hope you'll come back someday for another chat ... Thanks and continue your great acting! Bye!
AmyJoJohnson Thank you! I started playing guitar four years ago. I taught myself, and just recently took lessons. I wanted to expand and get better, but my schedule is too full. The guy who plays guitar in my band is also teaching me guitar.
Crristina Who's a better kisser, Ben or Noel?
AmyJoJohnson Well I wouldn't know that, would I? I've never kissed Scott Foley, he has a girlfriend. I think that the person to ask would be Keri.
DarthGravy This might have been asked already, but what do you think will happen to Julie after college?
AmyJoJohnson Probably something to do with music ...
Crristina How many languages do you speak?
AmyJoJohnson One. LOL Hahhaha ... Well, I can speak my dog's language, so two. :-)
fananna What are the award shows like, actually being in the audience?
AmyJoJohnson Very small. I was really surprised how small the stage was. Then seeing these people that you were so infatuated with all your life, like John Travolta, and you're like "they are so small" ... But it was REALLY fun. It's like cardboard ... but big and glamorous on TV. :-)
fananna Any onset dating?
AmyJoJohnson No, besides Jennifer and Scott ... but she is on a different show now.
mozie4758 Amy Jo, I like your hair this season, I like it better without all the barretts.
AmyJoJohnson OK ... I'll keep that in mind. :-)
dashfan What happened to Valhalla?
AmyJoJohnson About a year ago I started playing more by myself and now I have re-established a different group. But I am still friends with them.
spoilerman Did you ever go to Dean & Deluca's in NYC?
AmyJoJohnson Yeah, we shoot there when we go.
smiles4carebears I know that you took gymnastics lessons ... How come you didn't head in the directon of a fulltime gymnast?
AmyJoJohnson I was a gymnast and I quit when I was 17. I was a full-time gymnast. I didn't go to college, I went to NYC and studied acting. So I didn't have a team. You can say, I went to college ... I mean, I went to NYC and lived in the dorms and went to AMDA ... I had classes every day. I went to school at Strasberg. So I did go to college ... which is my life ... acting and singing.
Moderator Did the gymnastic background help with the Power Ranger role?
AmyJoJohnson Oh YEAH ... for sure ... definitely helped me get that.
mozie4758 Amy Jo, it is really hard to figure out how tall all of you are. Can you enlighten us on the heights of the cast members.
AmyJoJohnson Keri is like 5'4", Foley and Speedy are like 6'. 5'8" is Tangi, I'm like 5'2" ...
Fabian194 Amy, what does it feel to be so famous so young?
AmyJoJohnson It's definitely a trip. Definitely I didn't expect it, but I've fallen in love with it. I want to do good film. I want the fans to like the work that I do. In Hollywood there is a whole scene where people take advantage of being on TV. But I hope I don't get to that point ... just smack me in my face! Hehehhee.
DarthGravy If you had your pick of a type of movie to do, what genre would it be?
AmyJoJohnson SO many ... I think that I just want to find a story that really moves me and a character that you fall in love with. I think that that's really important, no matter what the story is about. I have a lot of different favorite movies. I want to do a period piece. I want to do a love story. I like really gritty character roles. Really gritty people roles instead of small, perfect Hollywood roles. I'd rather go the other way. I really envy and love Patricia Arquette and Holly Hunter.
DarthGravy I've got an idea that will revolutionize the show - a Felicity/Power Rangers crossover! What do you think?
AmyJoJohnson I don't know what to say about that! Hahahhahha. I don't think that it would work ... HEY, I'll ask J.J. LOL ROFL
smiles4carebears Is there any celebrity that you would love to be able to work with, and why?
AmyJoJohnson Yeah, there are a lot. SO many. Meryl Streep ... she's a genius. I just want to watch her work. And Holly Hunter and Susan Sarandon. Sean Penn is SO good. I would be a little scared to work with him, though. I like Tom Hanks ... There are SO many people that I think are SO talented ... it's so hard. I think that Natalie Portman is amazing ... Robert De Niro of course.
DarthGravy If there were any classic TV show (aside from Felicity) you could have starred in, which one would it be?
AmyJoJohnson I love Mary Tyler Moore ... I LOVE Taxi. I love Dick Van Dyke.
mozie4758 It's so much fun listening to your comments. You sound like a really sweet person.
AmyJoJohnson Oh, thank you!
queen_universe Is Keri fun to hang out with in real life, or do you not hang out?
AmyJoJohnson She is a very fun person. We don't hang out a lot. But we work together a lot. She is fun and sweet and great! :-)
smiles4carebears Who are your role models?
AmyJoJohnson My mother, for sure. She was an amazing person, very giving and spiritual. My sister, who I've learned so much from. She has two kids and she is the best mom. And hopefully when I have kids, I'll be just like her.
sugarwaters Who do you think Julie is better suited with - Sean or Ben?
AmyJoJohnson Probably Sean ... I can see them having a TOTALLY fun thing.
ksealy3 Do you get to choose your own clothes for the character, or are they your own?
AmyJoJohnson Neither, we have a stylist who dresses us. I can't stand shopping ... NOT fun for me! But I like Christmas shopping. Buying clothes gives me anxiety.
sugarwaters If there was a Felicity movie, would you do it?
AmyJoJohnson I would definitely do it.
smiles4carebears If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?
AmyJoJohnson Someone who would love me and love me back ... I would BE completely in love with him!!!!!
Domii1965 Quebec is too far ...... my questions are not getting to you ..... ROFL ..... Good thing we get to watch Felicity here!!! HAHA
smiles4carebears Keep up the good work Amy Jo! You're an amazing actress...=) Take care!
AmyJoJohnson THANK YOU!
Moderator Thanks so much for chatting with us today.
AmyJoJohnson Thank you for having me. :-)
