Кейти дала это интервью в ноябре в Кейптауне, во время съемок Лабиринта (перевод с африкаанс на английский - самого интервьюера, Marieke Snyman).
Спойлеров нет, но есть небольшой тизер, касающийся финала четвертого сезона Мерлина.
Thanks to
Merlin Network.
Cape Town – The filming of the fourth season of the BBC TV-series Merlin is done and have already started showing in England. Meanwhile, Katie McGrath, better known as Lady Morgana, is in Cape Town busy working on another TV-series.

“I love South Africa. Everything’s got life here. All the water has got fish, all the trees have birds and for me, coming from Ireland, it is paradise,” says Katie.
“Everyone is so laid back here. I find it a lot like home, but it’s also completely different.”
About four years ago Katie started working on Merlin. She says it was her first job as an actress and that she had no idea that the series would be so successful.
“I was only too glad to have a job. I had no idea. But Angel Coulby who plays Gwen said she knew from the beginning that there was something special about the show,” she explains.
“So many stories have already been built around the legend of Arthur and Merlin and so many more can be told about it. The writers of the series come up with so many surprising things. The fourth series is going to end in a very surprising manner for Morgana.”
She still enjoys portraying the role of Morgana and wouldn’t want to switch to any of the other characters if she had the choice.
“Everyone is always asking that and it’s funny, because I don’t want to be any of the other characters. Morgana is so cool – she’s got magic, she’s evil, she’s royal (even if she can’t wear the crown.) So I’ll stick with her. I’m happy.”
It also helps that Morgana is not like her at all, says Katie.
“Morgana has a lot of confidence and she’s on her own and doesn’t need anybody. But sometimes it becomes difficult to play her.
“After a heavy day I’ll get home and wonder why I’m feeling so down and then I’ll remember it’s because I’ve been crying for 12 hours. And then I’ll realise it’s not my own feelings. I can differentiate between my feelings and Morgana’s feelings and that is important.”
Katie enjoys being part of the Merlin team because it doesn’t feel like work. The filming of the series happens over eight months and the actors and crew are all set. Therefore every year she works with the same people and they’ve become good friends.
“It’s almost like being in boarding school. On the one hand, it’s bad because it takes up eight months of your life and everything is just about Merlin, but on the other hand, I enjoy it because we all get along so well which is wonderful.
“It would have been awful if we didn’t get along. Merlin changed my life. I really enjoy my life at the moment. I think I won the lottery.”
Katie is in Cape Town at the moment working in Labyrinth, a TV-series based on the book with the same title by Kate Mosse.
“It’s about the Holy Grail and how Kate Mosse sees it. It’s nothing like the Da Vinci-version.
“It’s set in a medieval France and a modern France, two parallel universes from different eras about the search for the Holy Grail,” Katie explains.
“It’s quite exciting to be part of this. We’ll be in Cape Town for a few more weeks but I’m hoping to be home for Christmas.”
In January and February she’ll have some more time for herself and other projects but after that things are going to be hectic again.
Next year will be busy for Katie and the other Merlin-characters. They are going to start filming the fifth season by March and then they’ll be travelling between France and Wales where the filming takes place.
“I’m looking forward to it. It’s always nice to work with the Merlin-people."
