HOW TO SAY HER NAME: "You say it,
'A-Lee-See-Ah,' not 'A-Lee-Shee-Ah!" ON DOING 'THE GRADUATE': "It goes through weird periods for me. Ill have a week where Ill feel like Im on fire. Im like, I really get it. Then Ill go through not liking what Im feeling again. Then I realize thats because theres more work to be done. Thats the most exciting part of the whole thing." ON HER ANIMATED TEEN SERIES 'BRACEFACE': "This show is really like a live-action sitcom reality-based animated show. It's Ally McBeal meets Clueless meets My So-Called Life." ON THE RUMORS THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT: "I heard I was pregnant recently. And I also get linked with really great people...it's weird. At first it was upsetting but now it is just amusing." WHAT OTHERS THINK OF HER DOING LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST: "I do feel like I'm having to do a lot of explaining why I'm in the film, and that's sort of obnoxious." Her American accent is strong on and off the screen, despite a father who was a London estate agent and a mother who came from the Isle of Sheppey. "A lot of people have said - 'But you're the girl from Clueless!'. And I've thought - excuse me, Clueless was critically acclaimed." PLAYING THE PRINCESS IN LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST: "Screw shooting. I don't like hair and make-up. I don't like hanging around the set. What I love is creating the character. It felt like I was in Fame. It was just so cool." DOING LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST: "It's a musical. Which is scary. I can't sing. I can't even sing in the shower, but now that I'm doing it, I'm realizing that I can sing. And the songs are so fun." ON HER DOGS: "My dogs are all rescued. I don't believe in pet stores. We're all vegan - we eat no meat, no dairy products, nothing like that." ON 'BLAST' DIRECTOR HUGH WILSON: "He is unbearable when you're shooting a scene because he laughs through the whole damn scene. It's great." WHEN SHE'S NOT AT WORK: "I like to make dinner for my friends--macaroni and cheese. And play with my dogs. I have five now." ON BEING REFERRED TO AS A SEX SYMBOL: "It doesn't bother me by any means but I don't really understand it so I just sort of ignore it but I appreciate the compliment." THE MESSAGE OF EXCESS BAGGAGE: "Don't try and change anybody, just be what you are. It's a lesson that takes years to learn. I still haven't figured that damn one out." PRODUCING EXCESS BAGGAGE: "My experience was I produced a film and I did a damn good job at it. I had a great time. I learned so much. I felt very successful through all that. So I know I heard little buzzes of things, but I was just like, "They're stupid." I don't read reviews. The only review I saw was that Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up, and I was very proud of that." MAKING BATMAN & ROBIN: "Everybody looks at Batman as an opportunity to do something wild and crazy. I had a hard time because I'm very serious. And I never really knew what the hell I was doing, because it's so huge, it doesn't feel like a film, or a character you're working on." ON HER WEIGHT: "It was just press bullshit. But it made me very concerned about my image. I don't want any young girl to think that I advocate being skinny or that I did anything to alter myself." DEALING WITH POPULARITY: "I often wish I was anonymous. It makes it very difficult to meet people. I love meeting people and talking to them, but I don't like talking to them about myself. I don't like being stared at. It makes it difficult." ON THE FUTURE: "I care about what I do, but my career is so second in my life, I love creating, but I don't know if I want to do anything forever.... I could take all this and say, 'Shove it up your ass,' because I don't care. I really love what I am doing on this movie, but, at the same time, I'd rather be married and have beautiful babies and millions of animals and eat delicious food and get as fat as I want... Live! You know?" ON JIM CARREY AT THE 1997 MTV MOVIE AWARDS: "Well, Jim is hysterical, and I think it's awesome he did what he did, because it was funny. But at the time, it was like, "What are you doing?" Alicia was up onstage, it wasn't like, a character." |
