Anna Faris, my favorite 'Playboy Bunny'(besides Barbara Walters), sits down in a Louis Vuitton creme colored sweater dress and Christian Louboutin heels for Manhattan magazine's May cover issue. As stated here before, I adore Anna and her old school approach to her comedy and acting skills A la Lucille Ball and/or Whoopi Goldberg. Folks are familiar with Fari's resume of work in such comedic films as Scary Movie (which I haven't seen) and the reason why I fell in adoration with her, "The House Bunny".
On her dream role... “A woman who is unambitious, has no maternal instinct, is liberated from vanity, relishes porn and is pretty much the female version of the comic male mess.”
On how she got cast in Scary Movie... “I’ve asked Keenen why he cast me, and he said, ‘Because you didn’t know what you were doing.’ Does that mean I was malleable? Willing to fall down a hundred times and get hit in the head more? I don’t know.” A long pause. “The real answer is, it’s because I took myself so seriously.”
On comedic actresses... “I really think there’s a change happening, where instead of viewing every female as competition, which is exhausting and futile, comedic actresses are now comradely. It feels really nice. And there’s nothing funny about that.”
On comedy... “In college one of my jobs was as a receptionist, and during my lunch breaks I’d wander around the city. So, on this particularly beautiful day, I was out walking in a dress, wearing my backpack, feeling great. But then I realized I was attracting a lot of looks, really getting checked out, which really made me angry, although I bet I loved it, even if I wouldn’t admit it. So, I’m scowling and stomping around when an older lady in a van pulls over and yells, ‘Hey girlie, your ass is showing!’ My dress had gotten hiked up under my backpack, giving full view of my Costco granny panties. My ass is showing, and I’m condemning a city full of lecherous men! That’s what I think [of] when I think about comedy and what it is.”
