I love your character on “Big Love” because she’s sort of a bitch. Do you think she’s a bitch? I do, but I think that’s kind of a simplistic view. I get that a lot in the street—that she’s a bitch—and I think it tells a lot more about the person’s character who’s saying that than about her even.
Are you saying that I’m a bitch for saying that? No, it is true that she’s very manipulative and jealous and has lots of traits that you could say are bitchy, but of course playing the character, you have to love her and believe that everything she does is right.
What are your views on polygamy? I was always very curious about the women who lived on the compounds. I think I still can’t comprehend what their lifestyle is like. Our characters on the show, three consenting adults outside the community, I can understand that a little more, but the compounds are very disturbing.
Would you be able to share a man? Absolutely not. I mean, we’ve all juggled guys but living together, no.
You got discovered hanging out in New York. Ever had an acting lesson? If you count summer camp in elementary school.
I don’t. Then no.
Do you ever pretend you’re a tree at home for practice? No, I don’t go that far. I try not to act, I try to react. I try to remind myself of that because sometimes I find myself really “acting.”
Were you an über-Connecticut WASP? My father was preppy but my mother’s parents were Polish immigrants.
So what, you ate pirogis with your collar turned up? Something like that. I did wear my collar up in elementary school. Laura Ashley was big.
Repeat Offenders: Jail Edition Lindsay, Nicole, Paris—Won’t they ever go away? Actually, they all could, and soon. The illegally blondes have all been recently busted for various drinking and driving offenses for which they might all be locked up (though, unfortunately, not together). Here’s the latest from our troublemaking recidivists:
Another Damsel in Distress Brandy might land in the slammer, too. (No wonder our prisons are overcrowded.) The singer could be charged with a misdemeanor for vehicular manslaughter—with up to a year behind bars—for a crash last year in Los Angeles that led to the death of a 38-year-old-woman. The woman’s husband (and her children and her parents) have all filed suits against Brandy. Now a driver from another car is suing her, too. So Brandy has filed her own suit, asking a court to decide who was at fault, even though the cops say she didn’t slow down in traffic. What a disaster.
