hey everyone;

I'm in NYC now, and my friend emailed this to me. (It's my interview with People!!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*******************************************************************

She's starred in 6 oscar-nominated movies, 2 emmy nominated shows, and about a million commercials for ***********. And now she's moving on to modeling. ******** ******** will be the new face of ****. How is it going from something you love and are an expert at to going to something new that you've never done before?

It's different. I'm used to change since I didn't want to get pidgeonholed in acting so my charecters that I played were always different. I think theres a difference between trying something new, or overexagurating your abilities. I'm not forcing myself into modeling for the money, or as a publicity stunt or anything- technically, I model all the time for photoshoots. Okay I think I've done enough beating around the bush, and it's safe to say if you're an actress you're a model.

Is it difficult to channel all your feelings into modeling, like you could acting?

Not at all. For acting, you channel your emotions into how you act, and for modeling- it's all in the eyes.

Is that advice from your long time friend Giselle Bundchen?

Giselle has been very supportive of my choices to model, she helps me- give me tips, just as I helped her when she broke into the acting business. As you saw her in The Devil Wears Prada- she's a natural. And no, I didn't get that advice from Giselle, I got it from Tyra Banks on America's Next Top Model.

Ah, a ANTM fan?

Yes, I love it. I also like Project Runway and House.

All new shows? What were some shows you watched from the beginning through?

That 70's Show. I'm a big fan of Wilmer Valderrama and Ashton Kutcher. That was the only show that really made me laugh for a while. I can honostly say it's my favorite TV show.

That's interesting- your favorite show does not include the ones you were in?

I don't like to watch my work because not only is it awkward, but I begin critiquing myself.

Favorites; Food, Color, Place, Designer, Movie, Actor, Actress. Go:

Hmm, food would have to be either calamari or fettichini alfreado. My favorite color is white because it's scientifically all the colors in the world mixed, my favorite place is New York City, I love the atmosphere. My favorite designer is Dolce & Gabbana. My favorite movie is Breakfast At Tiffany's. My favorite actor would have to be Adam Sandler- I love all his movies, they make me laugh. And my favorite actresses are Audrey Hepburn and Meryl Streep.

Wow, lots of uniqueness, are you proud of that?

Everyone should be proud of their uniqueness. It's what makes you, well- you.

You starred in the Lifetime original, ***********- that broke you into the big time acting. What was it like when you were first interviewed for live TV, or when you got your first fanmail?

It hit me, like- wow, I'm known around the country now. It's really inexplainable. You have to actually feel it to know how it feels. That sounds cliche and quirky- but it's true.

Okay, well where are you heading off to next?

I'm going to get a facial [laughs] at the Argyle Salon & Spa.

Sounds nice, thanks for stopping by, one last word to all your fans?

Don't let anyone EVER tell you that you're not good enough. Stick with your goals, your dreams, your aspirations, stick to what YOU believe in, because in the end no matter how far you go- you'll always have yourself to look back on & look forward to.
