Kurt Sutter Speaks on Sons of Anarchy

Interviewer: Season five was so much about Jack stepping in to the presidency. Where are we going to see his character going in to season six Kurt Sutter: I think we're on that trajectory. It's a handful of days I think, between seasons five and six. So, he's really still on that same trajectory in terms of deciding what the fate of the club will be, you know, and trying to balance that with the family and if you can really be the leader of an outlaw organization and still, you know, show up and be a family man and still have, essentially - Can you have it all? I think that will be part of his journey and part of the discovery this season, you know. Interviewer: I believe you said season six is probably going to be the most violent season. Kurt: I do and it was never the plan, but just I think, as we sort of sprint towards the finish line a lot of these relationships that we've seen develop, and get pushed and pulled over the last five seasons, I think kind of come to a head a little bit this season. I think just as a result of that the tension is sort of ratcheted up and we see the outcome of some of those relationships gone bad. Interviewer: Great guest stars coming on, Kim Dickens, CCH Pounder, who you worked with on the shield. Tell me about what their characters are going to be and how they're going to kind of impact everyone else. Kurt: Kim plays, part of the deal with Jack is trying to expand their legitimate businesses in [inaudible 0:01:34], and she'll play a woman, a madam, that's in Stockton that we're trying to get in to business with. So, it's sort of a fun little dynamic that happens between the two of them and Jimmy Schmidt character, Nero. Then CC plays a DA in San Joaquin, unlike [inaudible 0:02:02] character that was a federal DA. This is a much more sort of local county, so the stakes are different for her, and the dynamic is a little bit different for her. She's somewhat removed from them. So it's sort of an indirect conflict that she has, but it's always fun watching CC, so I think that'll be so much fun to watch.
