Lauren spricht im Interview unter anderem über ihren neuen Film, ihre Wunschrollen für die Zukunft, ihre Beziehung zu Serientochter Alexis Bledel und ihre Pläne für den Sommer. Auf myFanbase.de könnt Ihr das Interview nun im Original nachlesen:

Talking to: Lauren Graham

After playing TV's fastest-talking, wisest-cracking mom for four seasons on "The Gilmore Girls," Lauren Graham was longing for a change of pace. Her wish came true with "The Pacifier," a slapstick comedy co-starring Vin Diesel.

In the movie, which occasionally resembles an unofficial remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Kindergarten Cop," Graham plays a principal at the school where Diesel's Navy SEAL is carrying out his latest assignment: protecting the children of an assassinated scientist. Graham not only becomes Diesel's love interest but manages to get physical for some of the film's action scenes. Offscreen during an interview in Los Angeles, Graham doesn't quite possess the rat-a-tat delivery of Lorelei Gilmore, but she's just as witty and smart. Despite battling a bad cold, the 37-year-old actress holds forth on everything from smooching Diesel to her favorite rock band to what it takes to shock her dad.

Q. What was your take on Vin Diesel? Is he a good kisser?

A. Yeah, he is. He has the softest skin. Originally, I thought he was going be like a big meat head who couldn't form a sentence, you know what I mean? But he was really interested in acting and takes it really seriously. He grew up in Manhattan. He's groovy; he's not a thug.

Q. Was it fun doing the action scenes in the film?

Yes! I don't understand why I'm not an action hero. I really think this will definitely get me some phone calls.

Q. Can you put yourself in the running for action movies now?

Not really. You can't really say, "You know that girl who talks a lot? Yeah, she really wants to hit somebody back." That's why Jennifer Garner ends up in those kinds of movies. People usually picture you for something pretty close to what you've already done.

Q. So you get offered a lot of quick wits like Lorelei?

Well, since doing "Bad Santa," I actually get offered a lot of roles for women with checkered pasts in various states of undress. I'm actually really happy about that, because it's such a different energy [from the show]. You don't see a lot of characters like Lorelei, actually. People don't really write like that in film.

Q. Your character in "Bad Santa" was, shall we say, a loose woman?

There wasn't enough of that movie you could lift out for a clip without a lot of cursing in it. When I did talk shows, there was nothing to show because every scene was, like, me with a bra on. But I try to do something in the summer that keeps it interesting.

Q. Did anyone come up to you and tell you they were shocked by "Bad Santa?"

My dad. He went to see it on a Tuesday night in the suburbs or something, and you need an audience for that movie. He told me afterward, "That's just not my sense of humor." He's more of a Woody Allen fan.

Q. Does playing TV's hippest mom make you long to have kids of your own?

I have a dog. The dog is a very happy dog. But my dog has a nanny, so how could I have a kid? If I had kids right now, I'd feel terrible.

Q. You and your TV daughter, Alexis Bledel, have great chemistry onscreen. You must be close pals offscreen, too?

I'm so lucky to have Alexis. We're close in a specific kind of way. She's a perfect partner. We really help each other get through those long days. Our birthdays are six months apart exactly so, astrologically speaking, we're opposites. And I think we complement each other in a way that I'm really thankful for.

Q. What are you going to do for fun this summer?

I'd really love to see U2. Have you |ever seen U2 in concert? They're so amazing. I think if I could be somebody else, it would be Bono. He's so talented but political, philanthropic but sexy. And there's a lot of theater I want to see in New York. I have a friend in "Spamalot," the Monty Python thing. So there will definitely be a New York trip in my future.
