In Shaggie We Trust
Shane and Maggie. Maggie and Shane.
These two are the wonderful souls of this earth that bring
Michael & Nikita to life for us all. To say that they're work
as Mikita is absolutely brilliant is quite the understatement.
Having been accomplished actors way before 'Nikita', they
have upped they're ability as actors when we see what they
bring to these two characters. It is impossible to imagine
any other actors playing these roles, because Shane & Maggie
have just absolutely owned them.
"What I love about Nikita is that she's not just...sometimes
when they do kick-ass chicks, they go gratuitously sexy or
cheesy or...she's not. She's the real deal. And the way they
write her and the way they present her is, I think, something
substantial for women, instead of fluff. I really enjoy that." - Maggie
"Michael is very torn between his own heart and soul and what he feels is right and wrong" - Shane
"The reason why liked her when I first read her was that she's not a super hero." - Maggie
"He’s a conflicted good guy. He hasn’t done great things
his entire life, but in his heart, in his soul, he is a good guy.
But he’s messsed up, and it’s going to take time for him to
heal, and he certainly isn’t doing it by working for Division." - Shane
 
"I don't like the thought that she could possibly even like someone else". - Shane
"It's funny, I was actually on a plane with Shane. The stewardess asked, "Chicken or beef?" I said,
"I'd rather die." [Laughs] Shane was laughing and said,
"She'll have tea." I'm actually making Shane healthier." - Maggie Q
"I get to see her sexy butt tattoo all the time." - Shane West
"I do have a nickname for Shane, yeah, he's going
to be so mad at me if I tell it. We had to do these
flashbacks with Shane, we took his hair and kind of
poofed it up a little bit and they combined it back so
it was kind of a little bit bouffanti and he came on set
and I just kept staring at him and he goes what are
you looking at….so I said that he looked like the love
child of Charlie Sheen and George Michael. So all day
I called him Charlie Michael." - Maggie Q
"I actually elbowed him in the back of the head. I said:
"Shane I can't do this unless I hit you for real". Because
it just wasn't looking right and then I hit you twice. And
he was so good … he went:
"it's ok, it's ok hun, it looks good." - Maggie Q
"[...]You get to see how strong they were together.
Not together as in holding hands or kissing[...]but as
in being in each other’s presence while at Division." - Shane
"It’s so incredibly layered that it’s really kind of hard.
Nikita and Michael’s relationship is my favorite storyline throughout
the show." - Maggie
“It seems like he felt human with her,
but robotic with everyone else. I’d like to explore
more of that human side.” – Shane
"I think with those two, there is something very, very deep there — so deep that it’s scary." - Maggie Q
"Michael's heart is truly with Nikita" - Shane
"Maggie is just a wonderful human being, period.
She’s pretty amazing at making you feel bad about yourself.
She’s such a lover of humanity, of animals and of all walks of life, and she’s such a giving person, and that transcends to her acting.
She’s very giving, in every sense of the word, and she’s kind of a smart ass, and so am I. We get along that way,
and that’s huge for Michael and Nikita, and for us. We already care about each other a lot as actors, and I think that will show itself on screen.
We have a show to protect, and it’s something that we’re very passionateabout and hope that people will be passionate about as well." - Shane
"With Shane it’s funny, because he was training really hard for that fight and I was like, “Babe, I’m so proud
of you, you’re doing so well and you look great.” He
looked at me and said, “Mag, it’s you!” And I was like, “What do you mean?” And he was like, “I have to fight you, what do you think I’m going to do!” Which was so
kind of awesome and sweet." - Maggie Q
"That would be a better question for Maggie to answer. That poor girl. We started joking around, but only half-joking, and said, “You need to have an episode with her not fighting.” She needs to do something that doesn’t have her in an incredible fight, in every episode." - Shane
