So Claire is crazy, huh?
[Laughs] In a nutshell, yes!

Funny you say the word “nutshell” because I’ve heard something about a squirrel baby …
Mmmhmmm … I’ve made myself a squirrel child out of squirrel bones and some kind of fur and little button eyes. He’s real cute.

Obviously you can’t just disappear with your father in that cabin for a full season and not have repercussions, so is this what’s happened?
Yeah, she’s been three years, living on her own, making her own housing and food and protecting herself. The only person she’s had contact with as a friend is Locke — who’s not really Locke anymore. So any information that she’s been given about what’s going on with other people or the Island is from him. And there are maybe some things that are not the whole truth. He’s led her to believe that the Others have her baby at the Temple, so that’s been her whole plan this last three years, to get him back. Finding out that he’s off the Island and Kate is bringing him up is just like a complete, complete shock to her. So there’s an interesting relationship with Claire and Kate now — a combination of animosity, to say the least, and also respect and thanks. So that’s been fun playing with.

New interview of Josh by People magazine who went on the set and spoke to Josh about Sawyer and what we can expect now for him and if Sawyer and Kate are really over and the second part is about Josh’s life and his future after LOST will end.

How’s poor Sawyer holding up when we see him again in Tuesday’s episode?
He’s still racked with grief and full of guilt for allowing [Juliet’s death] to happen.

But Juliet’s the one who let go of Sawyer’s grip and detonated the bomb!
That doesn’t erase the shame and guilt of not being able to hold on. At the core, it’s a man’s responsibility to protect, no matter what. Going forward, Sawyer’s all anger. He hooks up with Locke because he just doesn’t care to live anymore. He’s already dead inside.

Are things officially over then between Sawyer and Kate?
Any feelings he allows for Kate are a betrayal to Juliet and their love. As the character, I don’t want anything to do with it. It’s shameful to him. Yet there’s an inevitable attraction. I want the writers to honor what Sawyer and Kate have built together, but I don’t know what that looks like.

You’re playing a skewed version of Claire this season—much like Terry O’Quinn’s not-quite-Locke. What’s it like?
I come back in a unique fashion, so to speak, which creatively has been amazing. One of the things about doing a television show for six years is you’re playing that exact same character every day—whereas you really can’t get bored on Lost.

What’s your favorite part about being back?
The best has been scenes when we’re all together—like it was during the first season—which doesn’t happen a lot. Just hearing Naveen [Andrews, who plays Sayid] and Terry playing guitar in the jungle and hanging out in the middle of these beautiful banyan trees, swatting off mosquitoes…

We hear one of you Losties may turn out to have an extra-special connection to the island.
The ongoing question has been, “Why am I there, and what is my purpose?” This season brings out a lot of good and evil in people, with people being excited, nervous and scared when informed of their possible destinies.

What would you wish for Claire’s future?
I think Claire should be reunited with Aaron. That would be great. There has been so much theorizing about Aaron [being] the key to everything. I really don’t know, but I think there must be something special with him.

IGN TV: Were you a fan of Lost before you joined the show?

Hiroyuki Sanada: Yeah, of course. I haven’t watched all of the episodes, but most of them. But yeah, I was a big fan.

IGN: Being on Lost means being part of a big mythology, full of mysteries. We’re you prepared to be a part of a show with so many secrets?

Sanada: Well, I learned that after I joined them. I knew the show because one of the cast – Matthew Fox who plays Jack – I worked with him before on the move Speed Racer. We didn’t have any scenes together, but we spent a lot of time in Berlin. Dinner and drinks. So I watched Lost because of Matthew. And then after I decided to join them I had a long time until I got a script so I spent a whole month catching up on all 120 episodes. Five episodes a day. I learned everything.

IGN: How was your character, Dogen, explained to you when you took the role?

Sanada: When I met the creators, Damon (Lindelof) and Carlton (Cuse), they explained my character to me. He was kind of a doctor who had lived on The Island for a long time. I asked them why a Japanese man would be living on The Island and how he might have come to The Island. So now I know why and how, but I can’t tell you. (laughs)

Jorge Garcia : “I feel at some point, it’s going to come to a head,” “I just don’t know what it’s going to be.”

Damon Lindelof : “There’s a reason. You’re supposed to be asking yourself the question of why are they showing me both shows. The fundamental mystery is what is the relationship between these two things.”

“There are going to be a lot of good theories about it, we hope. That’s the fun of Lost,” “If you can make it another 16 episodes, your patience will be rewarded.”

Evangeline Lilly : “I really love it. I love the fact that once again I get to try on a new version of Kate.”

Emilie de Ravin : “That was a big shock to me to read that side of the characters and how they’re slightly different.”

Matthew Fox : “The notion that Jack both succeeded and failed at the same time was really interesting. It has great potential to be very powerful, what this other reality, 815 not crashing and landing in Los Angeles, would have meant to people we have come to know in juxtaposition to who they are on the island,”

Terry O’Quinn : the flash sideways is confusing, but he says it doesn’t matter. He just wants a satisfying outcome to the series.
