Do you believe in aliens?
Absolutely.
Have you ever dated an alien?
[Laughs] Yeah, I’ve probably dated an alien. I’ve often
wondered. It’s much more interesting to think that maybe I have.
Have you been looking at the sky a bid differently since you
started Roswell?
In a way, I think I have. I’ve always been very passionate about
the sky. I love to lay in the grass and stare up - it’s always
been my thing. When I’m playing Isabel or trying to figure her
out, the sky seems very different. It seems more endless out
there and a lot less earthbound.
So your show comes on after Dawson’s Creek. Any chance for
some cross-over appearances?
Now that would be interesting. [Screams] "Dawson’s dating an
alien!"
Yeah, maybe you can abduct James Van Der Beek and return him
to earth in the form of an evil droid.
No, we’ll clone him. Wouldn’t that be great?!
Speaking of scary thoughts, when you worked on Bride Of
Chucky, were you ever alone in the room with that evil puppet
doll thing?
I had to hold the doll for a couple of scenes and the puppeteers
would do all of these creepy things, like make him stroke my
arm. That doll creeped me out.
Evil dolls coming to life, intergalactic high school students
- what’s your career plan, exactly?
Who knows? A year ago, who woulda thought I’d be doing all of
this. I guess that’s what’s so fun about this business - it’s
very spontaneous.
And finally, can you share your most embarrassing flirting
backfire ?
I have one that I’ll never get over. Every time I think of it, I
start to blush. I was a sophomore and I was wearing this outfit
that I thought looked really good. I was walking down the hall
and one of my friends was talking to this senior guy - the
senior guy. You know, the really hot, everybody-wants-him senior
guy. I knew that he was watching me, so I was kind of swaying,
moving and strutting down the hall. Then I started up the stairs
and I tripped - and fell up the stairs. Dead silence. I just
mumbled, "I’m fine," and bolted. My friend told me later that
Senior Guy said, "Well, she looked good until she fell."
Ouch ! Did you ever speak to him after that ?
No. Then again, I don’t think I had ever spoken to him before
that.
