Transcript von Holly'S Chat(2)

Hier der 2 Teil von Holly's Chat

From quadman: What are your plans for the summer?
Spend time with my horse and get ready for next year, basically.


From jenni_lee: What is the best gift you've ever gotten?
Susan Sarandon gave me an Irish wedding ring when I finished my first movie with her. She had it inscribed and everything. I was, like, 13, and I lost it within six months. I'm still bummed about that. Also, Tom Cruise got me an antique brooch because I had the stomach flu when we were filming Born on the Fourth of July. He saw I was wearing this antique ring and gave me the brooch. I wore it on my leather jacket for years. Then, one day, I looked down, and it was gone.


From tanyamichellerox: Do you like to cook like Piper does?
I try to cook like Piper does. I'm not as good of a cook, though. But I do enjoy trying and usually fail miserably. I can make a whole broiled chicken. It's a lot easier than pulling meat apart. I'm still new at not being a vegetarian.


From slaer: Do you know anyone else on the WB set besides the crew on Charmed?
We have so many dinners and lunches, and we all hang out. We make jokes about the WB family. There was a rumor that I was dating Barry Watson from Seventh Heaven. And I was standing next to Katie Holmes at an event and she said, "Well, you've got to keep it in the WB family!"


From xnderbuffy: Are you going to be a werewolf again? Was it really you behind the costume?
I hope I'm not going to be a werewolf again because that was a really difficult episode to do. But no, it wasn't me. It was a big man in the werewolf suit.


From andrew_h: How did you get involved with Thursday's Child, and why?
Because it was an organization to help runaways and teenagers who were having a hard time. I didn't have the easiest time as a teenager, so I related to it.


From jenni_lee: What kind of books do you read?
I'm reading a book about cross-training your horse.


From heidiann: What were you like in high school? Did you like it?
No. Until I had a purpose (my junior year) like marine biology, I kind of had a problem with authority, and I wasn't very outgoing. I was shy. It was a tough time for me.


From charmingirl: Do you like New York better or L.A.?
I lived in NYC a long time, and I like them both for different reasons.


From monique1017: What "classic role" would you like to have played? You know, from Scarlett O'Hara to Princess Leia...
The answer would have to be Princess Leia. Who wouldn't want to play her?


From mikerand: Any advice for aspiring actors, Holly?
If it's something you really want to do and it makes you happy, then stick with it. But if it's not something you wholeheartedly want to do, then don't do it, because it's a rough business.


From chlobo: Was that thing about standing beside Katie and dating Barry a rumor?
Yes, I was standing beside Katie. No, I was not dating Barry. I'm dating Katie! (Just kidding.)


From christolj: Your fiancé deserves a lot of credit for teaching...especially in times like these. Do you worry about the hazards of his job?
I do. He teaches in an urban area, but he loves it.


From quadman: Have you had any say in the development of Piper?
Actually, yeah. They came to me at the end of the year and asked, "What do you want for your character?" I really don't know, but they said I could come to them with any ideas.


From sheryl9699: Are you planning any daytime or prime-time interviews soon?
Nothing soon...My first live interview was Regis and Kathie Lee. I hadn't done anything live before. It was very scary. I was talking really fast. I was a little nervous!


From Kramer: Katie Holmes or Shannen Doherty: In a Celebrity Deathmatch, who would win?
Well, Katie's bigger and younger, but Shannen's feistier. I don't know. It would have to be a draw.


From quadman: Are Alyssa and Shannen jealous that you got to work with Tom Cruise?
Oh, no. I got to work with Tom a long time ago. I was 16.


From quadman: Holly, I read somewhere you wanted to get rid of your bangs, but Spelling made you keep them. Do you think he'll change his mind for next season?
I seriously hope so because I can't take the bangs any longer.


From mikerand: Holly: Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, 'N Sync, 98 Degrees or me?
'N Sync. Only because they're friends of a friend.


From charmingirl: Do you think Charmed doesn't get enough publicity?
I'd like to see it get more compared to a lot of other shows. But the network is aware of our gripe, and they're fixing it.


From calgrrl: Which do you like better: movies or TV?
It depends on the script. It depends on the project. I've done movies I liked and TV shows I liked a lot more. (It only takes eight days to film an episode.)


From halliwell123: Holly, what kind of horse do you have?
I have a quarter horse.


From quadman: I know you all have tattoos. Who spends the most time in makeup getting them covered up?
Alyssa has more than anyone, but I probably spend the most time because mine are on my wrists.


From mikerand: Holly, did you see Susan Lucci get the Emmy?
It was the strangest thing, because I had heard about it. I never watched All My Children, but when she won and cried, I was so moved. I was sitting there going, Why I am I crying?!


From dc_rulz: Is there anything about Charmed you'd change if you were producer?
There're a few things I'd change, and we're working on it. I'm not going to say what they are. Just to make it a little more realistic.


From brunob: Did you watch 90210 when Shannen was on it?
No, I was never really into that. My friends were. They were obsessed with it, but I never really watched it.


From mintstacey: Are you a homebody, or do you like to go out? If so, what kind of places?
I'm basically a homebody. In fact, all three of us are.


From seattlematt: Have you met any celebrities who have left you completely starstruck?
Yes. Michelle Pfeiffer, for one, because she was married to David Kelley our last couple years of Picket Fences. I would just stand there in awe. Tom [Cruise] is just so down to earth and sweet. He knew I was nervous, so, he rehearsed with me even though it was a small scene.


From carminez: Who do you think is the sexiest guy on the WB?
Joshua Jackson.


From halliwell123: Holly, of all of the characters you've played, which are you most like?
Probably Kimberly on Picket Fences, just because she was kind of like a teenager who had a question and an answer for everything--or thought she did.


From sulu: Do you guys get to keep the clothes?
No, we don't. We have an option to buy them for a reduced price if we want to. I'll have to renegotiate that part of my contract.


From tula: If you could, which power would you pick?
Probably mine. I think having premonitions would freak me out. And moving things is a dangerous power to have.


From dc_rulz: Have you ever met Joshua Jackson?
Oh yeah. He's very sweet and very cute and has an amazingly funny personality. He's got charm just oozing out of his skin.


From xnderbuffy: What's up with the cat as seen in the beginning?
She has come and gone every few episodes. She's like Tiger from The Brady Bunch. She's there when we need her.


From jeogg: Any hints for next season?
They don't give me any hints for next season. But I do know Piper's gonna have a nightclub of sorts, and, if I have my way, Leo will be back.


From charmingirl: Where are you going to spend the last day of 1999? In New York or in LA with your fiancé?
I'm hoping to go somewhere quiet and secluded, away from the madness. Someplace with its own personal generator--just in case.


From katyaction: Which villain on Charmed has been your favorite so far?
Billy Wirth's character, for obvious reasons.


From tanyamichellerox: How did you get that scar on your eyebrow?
When I was learning how to walk, I actually hit my head on a marble table. It was a nasty mark all the way across my forehead, but only the eyebrow scarred.


From hacker2093: I saw in the newspaper that your TV movie about the cadet murders is on this week. Was it hard playing someone so psycho?
It was hard because it was, like, the first time I had ever played a character like that. And because it was a true story, there was, like, hate mail, and people were scared of me.


From christolj: Thank you for taking time out of your day to talk with us!
Thank you for writing in questions--otherwise I'd be talking to myself! And watch the show!!!
