LIBBY
INTERVIEWS...
MEG RYAN
<<PREVIOUS
Meg
It
was a lot of fun working with everyone.
Libby
I'm
sure at the very least it was loud.
I
am very good at reading people Meg and I sense there is something beneath
all that perk, that there is a darker more introspective side.
Greg Kinnear your costar in You've Got Mail (which I thought I saw
but I'd accidentally watched Sleepless in Seattle twice) said about you "There
is such complexity beneath Meg's surface. She is a far more intricately wired
personality than you might think" Do you feel that's accurate?
Meg
I'm
definitely not the perky, Suzy Sunshine that the public sees all the time.
I think it's a fair assessment. I think we all have a dark side.
Libby
How
do you handle your psychosis?
Meg
I
wouldn't call it psychosis I just have periods like everyone else where things
overwhelm me.
Libby
And
what do you do when you plunge into the dark side?
Meg
I
wouldn't call it plunging but I like to meditate or chant. I just feel I need
something to make my mind shut up.
Libby
Oh,
that's interesting, something like "redrum, redrum, redrum'...?
Meg
No!
Nothing like that at all, you see I took up yoga because running was too hard
on my hips so I find that I can....
Libby
You're
breaking my heart here. I'm looking at America's Sweetheart, all squints and
squirts and giggles and now you've got the same problem as my Aunt Hannah?
She's ninety!
My
God at the rate you're going you're gonna end up like Baby Jane Hudson!
Meg
What?
Libby
Now
your breakup with Randy--who I loved by the way in all the Vacation movies--not
in a romantic way of course, but in a buffoon way. Was he frightened that
you were going to harm him?
Meg
First
of all his name is Dennis and no, I would not harm anyone.
Libby
O.K.
let's not get excited here and I would appreciate if you would put down that
pen. Just a little point of interest here Meg, anger is not cute.
Now
,Russell Crowe.
Meg
I
told you I don't want to talk about that.
Libby
Are
you hoping he'll put the twinkle back in your eye, the calcium back in your
hips the air back in your bubble?
Meg
I
don't want to talk about that.
Libby
Someone's
got to tell you this. Do you know he's Australian?
Meg
Yes.
Libby
Now
I'm not one for generalizations, but I feel I must bring this up. Here this,
this Australian comes to break up one of America's fairy book marriages it
does make you think, doesn't it?
Meg
I'm
not following you.
Libby
Well...
I'm just gonna say it. It makes you think of Hitler, and that you're Poland.
Meg
What?
That doesn't make any sense! Why in the world would you think of Hitler?
Libby
Well
Hitler was Australian wasn't he?
Meg
He
was Austrian.
Libby
Oh,
now the accent makes a little more sense.
Well
our time was up. As I watched poor Meg leave I had to fight back a tear. I
wish we lived in a world where bubbly, perky, peppy people were prized no
matter what age, but as it looks very unattractive we don't.
Oh,
well, what can you do?
