QUESTION: WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?

Lindsay: Chanel.

QUESTION: YOU CUT YOUR LEG?

Lindsay: No, I didn't cut my leg, I fractured – I have a hairline
fracture in my foot.   It's funny, because when we were filming – I
slipped coming out of the shower, but on the film, I twisted my ankle,
when we were shooting in New York, my right foot, and it's really
ironic, because the film's called 'Just My Luck.'   And yesterday, I
was coming out of the shower yesterday morning and I slipped and fell
like this.  So I can't wear heels, that's the bad thing.

QUESTION: DO YOU THINK YOU'RE AN UNLUCKY PERSON?

Lindsay: No, I think I'm very lucky.  Look at this cast!

QUESTION: WHAT ABOUT THE ACCIDENTS?

Lindsay: Everyone has accidents.

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE A GOOD LUCK CHARM?

Lindsay: Yeah, I do.  My sister.   This bracelet that I have on, is a
good luck charm.

QUESTION: WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM?

Lindsay: Caviar and Kind on Sunset Blvd.  You can actually see it on the
cover of W magazine, yes, the Chanel suit, thank you very much.   Yeah,
I have good luck charms.  Bree [Turner] got me a really nice ring that
I still have, I keep it as a good luck charm.

QUESTION: THEY HAVE MATCHING TATTOOS.

Lindsay: They were there when I got my first.

QUESTION: WHAT DID YOU GET, WHERE IS IT?

Lindsay: I got La Bella Vida.  They said it was something else, like the
beautiful view, and it's on my lower back.   It was for my grandfather,
it means a beautiful life.

QUESTION: DID YOU BOND ON SET?

Lindsay: We actually wrote music.  We should do a DVD special on that.

QUESTION: WAS THIS FILM YOUR CHANCE TO GET TO A BROADER AUDIENCE?

Lindsay: Yeah.  I mean, it's kind of like a coming of age thing for me,
and everything that I'm doing after this, my characters are the same
age if not older, and maturing, and I mean, you can only act as if
you're in high school for so long, I feel.   But it kind of was the
perfect thing for me, because it's not too – it's not a dark film, so I
can still keep the fan base that I've grown with.  And it's a really
lovely film and it's romantic comedy, and it's my first romantic
comedy, and I get to kiss Chris [Pine] in it.   It's a great film for
me, it still has a good message, and I think that's important, and I
still have a young audience to look out for, and this is acceptable for
the younger audience, and for people that are older than me, and I
think – it was hard for me to find that kind of film, so it was nice
that I found it.

QUESTION: DO YOU EVER FEEL FAME SHELTERS YOU FROM THE REAL WORLD?

Lindsay: In general?  Yeah.   Not really.  It depends on who you
surround yourself with.  If you surround yourself with people that are
gonna treat you as they would if you didn't have your pictures
everywhere, and I don't think – no.   I have a really great family and
great group of people, and I consider myself a pretty humble person. 
Fame is fame.   What is fame?

QUESTION: DID YOU AUDITION GUYS BASED ON WHO YOU'D HAVE TO KISS?

Lindsay: We looked at pictures.  One looked like Josh Burger [?] from
'Sex and the City,' I liked that.

[PETRIE: I told Lindsay, just pick!]

Lindsay: You make it sound so comfortable!

QUESTION: I LIKED THE HEIMLICH ONE.

Lindsay: We did it a second time, we had to go into the studio and do it
again.   So it was like a double.  It was uncomfortable because we were
shooting in Central Park, and there were all these people lined up, and
all these kids started kind of accumulating while we were shooting, and
I'm standing there jogging next to this guy, and all of the sudden you
just see me kind of attack the guy and kiss him, like I can't do that,
I felt so uncomfortable!   I actually got to the point where I said can
I kiss him on his cheek and make it look like I'm kissing him?

QUESTION: BUT YOU REALLY KISSED HIM.

Lindsay: I wanted the realism in the scene to show through, that I
really needed to kiss him to get my luck back.

QUESTION: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE 'A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION?'

Lindsay: Would you turn down a movie that Robert Altman was directing
and Meryl Streep was playing your mother in?   [laughs] I wouldn't
recommend it if you were to say yes.   That actually – that movie,
right after I finished this, even while I was finishing 'Just My Luck,'
we had started talking about 'Prairie Home Companion,' and I wasn't
aware of exactly what it was, and I spoke to my grandmother about it,
and she kind of informed me what it was about, and the movie was coming
together, and then I heard Meryl Streep's name and then I heard
Michelle Pfeiffer at one point, and then it just – it finally just came
together one day and they said okay, we're making the movie, and they
want you to be Meryl Streep's daughter in it.   And my role kind of got
bigger as we went along, because I became friends with Garrison
Keillor, so, it was amazing, and then I would look at the call sheet,
and I would just see the most – these actors who I didn't believe were
coming onto the set every day, it was a wonderful experience, and a
great one, a good experience for me as my first independent film.   And
it was nice to be able to sing live, and it's just one of those movies
where it's always nice to have to look back on, it's an amazing kind of
monumental film in its own way.

QUESTION: WHAT POINT DID THE SINGING COME INTO PLAY?

Lindsay: I was definitely nervous.  Everyone was there that day on the
set.   On that day they just happened to have to be there on the side
of the stage, and I only rehearsed that song I think three times, and
they kept changing it, I was nervous.   It was – we don't really have
musicals that are done like this movie.  And Robert Altman obviously
has a way of kind of incorporating comedy and the darker side in films,
and it's kind of a creepy movie in its own way, but it's still really
funny.   But we're not talking about that movie.

QUESTION: DID YOU GET TO KEEP WARDROBE?

Lindsay: After you wear it, day in and day out, you don't really want to
keep it.   [laughs]

QUESTION: WAS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR YOU LIKED, THOUGH?

Lindsay: I liked the white Versace jacket.

QUESTION: YOU DIDN'T KEEP ANY OF THAT?

Lindsay: I kept some stuff, we all kept some stuff.

QUESTION: WHEN YOU'RE DOING STUFF, DO YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE FUNNY
WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT?

Lindsay: Yeah, if I'm going to walk into a glass wall, I'd hope that
people will laugh.   But I also want to point out that when we did the
scene when we were shooting all through the night, the washer dryer
scene, which is my favourite, we had – I got a rash, remember?   I just
started breaking out in like hives all over from the soap.

QUESTION: DID YOU HAVE A DOUBLE FOR ANY OF THE STUNTS?

Lindsay: We had, I did have a stunt double, but I ended up doing it.  
For the scene – everyone's afraid on the set, because I was wearing
stilettos, that I would hurt myself, I ended up doing that, but in this
particular scene when I'm in the bowling alley, and I'm cleaning the
floor, I'm waxing the floor, they didn't want me to do it, because they
were nervous, which they should be, but I actually ended up doing it.

QUESTION: DO YOU GET MORE SATISFACTION FROM SLAPSTICK THAN FROM
RECITING FUNNY LINES?

Lindsay: I think that slapstick comedy tends to be more effected, just
because it's a visual of someone hurting themselves.   It can be funny
sometimes.

QUESTION: YOU REALLY SEEM TO DIVE IN.

Lindsay: I feel like if I'm gonna go for it, then I'm gonna go for it.  
At first it's always nerve wracking, and then once you get comfortable
with it, then you realize, well I want to make it as funny as I
possibly can.   But I don't prefer one or the other.   This is the
first time I really did a lot of physical comedy.  And I really enjoyed
it.

QUESTION: HAVE YOU GONE TO A TAROT CARD READING?

Lindsay: I drive by that place so many times when I'm in New York, where
we actually shot it.   And I pass where the – it's an actual, I didn't
know it was an actual place.

QUESTION: ARE GIRLFRIENDS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Lindsay: Oh yeah, absolutely.  What are you without friends?   I'm a
girls girl.  No offence.

QUESTION: YOU WENT SHOPPING A LOT?

Lindsay: We found some good vintage shops there.  And I tried to get–
remember we kept passing like the voodoo places.   And Giacomo's was
like the place where we went to eat. And there is one in New York, I
didn't know that.  Now I do.

QUESTION: ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?

Lindsay: No hats on the table.  Hats on the bed and hats on the table.  
How come no one knows hats on the bed?  I'm psychotic when it comes to
hats on the bed.  For some reason, everyone puts a hat on my bed, I'm
like, it's the one thing, I need to put a sign up in my room.   It's
bad luck.  I didn't make it up.   I feel like, when I don't go by the
superstitions, and if I leave a hat on the bed, it's all mental.

QUESTION: WHAT'S YOUR TO DO LIST?

Lindsay: I think I have my life for the next, what is it, two years
right now, I'm going into another film, I think it starts in two weeks.
  I'm gonna be photographing, I think Karl Lagerfeld, just whenever I
find the time to go, I'm going to Paris to shoot, that's fun, it's been
a hobby that I've been…I have a bunch of other movies coming out, so
we're going to all the festivals, for 'Bobby.'

QUESTION: WHO DO YOU PLAY IN THAT?

Lindsay: Actually, she was based on a woman that inspired ??? to write
her in this movie, he went to write the script, and was staying at the
only hotel, and he went to this hotel, and he walked in to go to check
in, the woman noticed him, she said – her name is not Diane, but I'm
Diane in this. She said can I ask what you're doing here?   It's a
random place for you to come.  And he said I'm writing a movie, and she
goes well can I ask what it's about or is it some big Hollywood secret?
 And he said no, it's about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.   And
the way he described it, she grabbed the desk, and she put her head
down, and she looked up and tears were welling in her eyes, and she was
like, I was there.   It sounds crazy that she actually did this – she
married I think it was probably three or four men, that she'd known in
her life, so they didn't have to go to Vietnam, which was completely
inappropriate, god forbid – women didn't have the right to kind of–
they weren't allowed to say what they felt, it's not like it is now.  
And it's a nice character, and I have some great scenes in it, and the
movie's beautiful.

QUESTION: WAS IT STRANGE THAT IT TOOK PLACE BEFORE YOU WERE ALIVE?

Lindsay: No.  I think it's actually – it's a great thing for me, my
sister was on the set a few times, and she learned so much, and she was
actually learning about the assassination in school at the time, so I
brought her, she came to visit me and stayed with me for a few weeks,
and she learned so much just being there, and for me, for my younger
fan base, I think it's kind of nice that I can try and draw the
audience in so they can learn from that.

QUESTION: WHO ARE MOST OF YOUR SCENES WITH?

Lindsay: Sharon Stone, William H. Macy, Elijah Wood, that's really it.  
I know that it's Demi Moore and Anthony Hopkins and I are gonna go and
promote it.   That's an honour.

QUESTION: ARE YOU SHOOTING FOR KARL AS A MODEL?

Lindsay: I'm shooting him.  Yeah.   I don't want to give too much
detail.  He just shot me for an interview, as Clara Bow and as
Elizabeth Taylor.   But I'm going to shoot him for an interview.  
Karl's a genius, and I love the things that he does.

QUESTION: SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY INTERVIEWING HIM? WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE
ON THE OTHER SIDE?

Lindsay: It's scary.  When I had to interview my friend, I was like, I
can't – I just kept the tape recorder rolling, and it was a great
interview, and they thanked me so much because I got everything out of
them.   And I just left it rolling and I was like I don't know what to
ask you, you're my friend, it's so awkward!  Putting someone on the
spot like that, I felt bad [laughs].   But he was great.

QUESTION: WHAT NEXT?

Lindsay: First I'm doing 'Bill' with Aaron Eckhart.  It's kind of a
strange – it's a dry humour film, and I play – I'm really excited to see
him in this role, he's putting on some weight for the movie I think.  
Seems like all the guys I work with have to put on weight for the
roles, Jared Leto just put on so many pounds for the character.  I
don't know, I don't want to say too much about it, but I start it in
two weeks, and that shoots in St. Louis.

QUESTION: AND THE JARED LETO FILM, THAT'S THE MARK DAVID CHAPMAN FILM.
HOW DID YOU CONNECT WITH THAT TIME?

Lindsay: I actually, I sat down with Yoko Ono a few times to talk to her
about it, because I didn't want – it's a very touchy subject, and
nobody wanted me to do the movie, that worked for me.   Just because
John Lennon is a legend.  And I was actually really nervous going into
it, because I did get death threats and everything, but the director I
believe in, and he's a good friend of mine.   I saw a bit of, like half
the movie, no music or anything, I've never seen a movie like that,
while he was editing it, and it really made me nervous [laughs], but I
love my character in the movie, and she's just such a – she's such a
genuine fan of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, in the film, and she's the
light in the movie, she's like the Hitchcock blonde, but I'm not blonde
in it.   But she reminds me of that.  And Jarrett Schaeffer's a great
director, and he's doing a great job with it, and Jared Leto did a
great job.   And it was interesting to me.  But I wanted to get the
okay from Yoko Ono.

QUESTION: WAS THAT A REASON TO TALK TO HER?

Lindsay: No, I'm friends with Sean, I just did a music video, actually,
and we write things together.

QUESTION: WHAT WERE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF YOKO?

Lindsay: I nearly died.  I walked in and we were wearing almost the same
thing, I swear to God.   We were both wearing all black, because I was
like I need to wear something that Yoko would wear.   She was so sweet,
and just amazing in the things that she had to say.   My tattoo is the
back story behind it is, when her and John Lennon, one of the first
times they met.  I don't know, just the things that she's done are
wonderful.

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING MUSICALLY COMING UP?

Lindsay: 'A Prairie Home Companion' CD is coming out, the soundtrack of
the movie.   I don't know, I'm filming here, after 'Bill,' I'm filming
????, and then I'm filming I think maybe in Barcelona, and then
'Speechless.'

QUESTION: WHAT DRIVES YOU TO WORK SO HARD?

Lindsay: You know what?  They're independents, so it's so much easier, I
feel.   Seriously, it feels like a lot less pressure to me, there's not
as much money, so they shoot for a short amount of time, and I really
like just all the different characters.   It's nice that I'm able to
travel and not be in New York or L.A. and places where I'm gonna see
everyone that I know and just kind of focus on the work, and it's
experience, and I want to have as much experience as I can, you only
live once.

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TABLOID STORIES?  WHAT IS YOUR LIFE
REALLY LIKE?

Lindsay: Apparently I just go out to clubs.  With a sprained ankle and
all.   I spend as much time as I can with my friends, when I'm in the
same place as them.   And when I'm in New York it's great, because I'm
really close with my sister, and I just whenever she's with me, I think
she makes me happy.   She's gonna play a younger me in a movie, so that
she'll be able to be with me.

QUESTION: WHAT FILM?

Lindsay: 'Veronica Decides to Die.'

QUESTION: DO YOU LIKE INDEPENDENT FILMS MORE NOW?

Lindsay: I think it's just those are the projects that have caught my
eye.   And they're different.  And the characters are all kind of–
they're so different than anything I've done, but I'm growing up.   In
??? I play this girl who was molested by her stepfather, and
Gary Marshall's doing it, it's a dark comedy.   I feel like people will
always be judgmental, but all of them have an arc, and it's nice to
play different people and kind of go into more mature roles as I grow.

QUESTION: WHO SPREADS THE RUMOURS ABOUT YOU?

Lindsay: If you can find out…I don't know.  Drama sells.   So people are
gonna keep doing – if I've dated as many men as they say I have, then
I'd be dead by now.   Honestly, I would.  It's just – but you come into
this industry, and you want that, you want to be written about, to an
extent, obviously, but you're putting yourself on a place where people
are gonna put you on a pedestal, and sometimes they build you up to try
to take you down, but that teaches you to work harder, and then it
becomes what I love to do.   When I was four years old, I didn't say, I
want to be written about as going to Bungalow 8 every night, and
showing up to set late.  You live and you learn.

QUESTION: YOU CAN'T BE ALL THESE PLACES THEY SAY YOU ARE.

Lindsay: I read that I'm in New York when I'm here, my mom was mad at me
because she's like you're in New York, you're not coming home?   I'm
not in New York!

QUESTION: DID MERYL GIVE YOU ADVICE?  WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

Lindsay: More of a friend relationship rather than maternal.  And her
daughters are there all the time, and one is my age, and one's older
and one's younger, and they're really sweet.   And the whole cast went
to dinner every single night.   We had nothing else really to do.  So
everyone really got close to each other, it was like a big family, just
really amazing.   Meryl and I were going – she was getting ready to do
'Devil Wears Prada' after that, so she was like, I don't know anything
about fashion.   And then I asked her to do W, after that.

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN FASHION SENSE, OR DO YOU HAVE STYLISTS?

Lindsay: You collaborate with people.  It's always more interesting when
you have other people's opinions.

QUESTION: DO YOU LIKE THE SAME STUFF AS SARAH JESSICA PARKER, CAN YOU
RELATE TO HER?

Lindsay: Actually, I can, because I used her tailor once.

QUESTION: FAVOURITE DESIGNERS OR BRANDS?

Lindsay: A lot [laughs].  Honestly a lot.   I'm just thinking
collections, because I've just been doing all fashion shoots.   Yves
St. Laurent's collection is something I really like.  I like Chanel.

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF CLOTHES?

Lindsay: Oh my god, if you saw my closet.  I never need to shop again.  
I like to collect a lot, I collect pieces.   I like fashion a lot.

QUESTION: SO YOU WERE IN NEW ORLEANS.

Lindsay: We took a lot of road trips too.  Baton Rouge.

QUESTION: WHAT MUSIC DID YOU PLAY?

Lindsay: We played the Cure.

QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO WORK OUT TO?

Lindsay: I don't like to run.  Madonna.   All Madonna, vintage Madonna.

QUESTION: YOU CAN WORK OUT ANYWHERE, WE HEAR.

Lindsay: This is something I do, and people think I'm a little bit crazy
for it.   I just drop and do push ups.  And leg lifts, but push ups,
I'm always doing push ups, and because they said I have really skinny
arms once, and I like doing push ups.   And my brother used to make fun
of me because I couldn't do push ups.

QUESTION: HOW MANY DO YOU DO AT A TIME?

Lindsay: As many as I can.  I'm pretty good, though, I've gotten good.  
I can do a good amount.

QUESTION: ARE THEY GIRL PUSH UPS?

Lindsay: No!

QUESTION: ARE THEY ONE ARMED?

Lindsay: No, but I have to do one leg right now because of my ankle
[laughs].   Justin Long, when we were doing 'Herbie,' he had to get
hyped up in a scene, he drops and does push ups, and I'd be like what
are you doing?   We know that you have good muscles, great.

QUESTION: WHAT WAS THE CAFÉ SITUATION?

Lindsay: We had a lot of paparazzi, and I had to freak out in the scene
and shove bacon in my mouth.   I was so nervous, and then Donald
blocked it off at one point.   There were just so many of them.  I
yelled at someone once.

QUESTION: DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO PROTECT YOU ON EVERY SET?

Lindsay: I usually should have someone with me, but I never do.

QUESTION: WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH PAPARAZZI.

Lindsay: Not in New Orleans.  When I was shooting the Altman film, they
had a big billboard up, Lindsay please call the radio station, right
next to the Fitzgerald Theatre, and I walk in and I was like, I was
thinking to myself, and I was walking with like Lily Tomlin or someone,
standing outside, you have like Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly,
dressed in their cowboy get up from the film, and they were like all
chasing me, and Meryl was like go, follow, and I was like take her
picture, follow her.   They'll do it for a few days when you're away,
and then they come back here because something's going on in L.A. or
New York that they have to find out about.   But they can make it up
now.

QUESTION: DID YOU CALL THE RADIO STATION?

Lindsay: I did, and I've done a lot of radio and had interviews with
them.   And we're having the premiere there next week.

QUESTION: WHICH STATION WAS IT?

Lindsay: Oh God.  It's St. Paul's radio station.

QUESTION: DID YOU EVER HAD A STREAK OF BAD LUCK LIKE YOUR CHARACTER?

Lindsay: If I did, then I don't know about it.  But everyone, you have
to have – you have to go through highs and lows in life to kind of
learn to appreciate things, just as Ashley Albright in the film.

QUESTION: ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR HAIR THIS COLOUR FOR LUCK?

Lindsay: No. I actually promised a bunch of the people from Fox when I
went in for the meeting, about the publicity for the film, that I would
go back to red.   But I'm gonna be red for the next film, I'm
strawberry blonde, I'll be back to dark soon.  I feel like, the only
reason I don't – I don't want to wear wigs, because then you don't feel
like you're the person that you're portraying.

QUESTION: DO YOU FEEL MORE YOURSELF AT THIS COLOUR?

Lindsay: I don't know.  My mom's so happy that I'm red.   It's her baby,
redhead.

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU FEEL?

Lindsay: I don't care at this point. [laughs]  I'm comfortable in my own
skin, I've learned to be.   I feel like I kind of have to change my
hair colour sometimes, because when I do, this is like probably – this
is the film where I was last red, and I'm red for a while in film, and
then I'm in all these tabloids, and people see me as Lindsay, about me,
but then it's hard for them to kind of believe that I'm playing someone
else in a movie when I look exactly the same, and so I feel like
changing my hair colour kind of allows me –

QUESTION: A SEPARATION?

Lindsay: Yeah.  It just helps me more, and I feel like it'll help the
viewers of the film, kind of believe that I'm not Lindsay.

QUESTION: WHAT BEAUTY STUFF DO YOU INDULGE IN?

Lindsay: Fake tans.  I met this woman recently, last week I hosted
Saturday Night Live, I wanted to go out and I felt really white and
pale, so I wanted to go for the tan, so Lorne Michaels was like, you're
not leaving.   I don't know if you're going to come back, and I was
like, no I'll be back, don't worry.  So he goes no, we've already sent
for someone to come in.   So this woman shows up, she gives me like a
paper set of underpants to put on, I was like no that's fine, I'll keep
my shorts on, and she takes out this whole set up, and this bottle, and
she has me stand there like this, and she sprays me and then we're
about to do the show, she's like it's about to get darker, I was like
what do you mean, how much darker is it gonna get in the next hour and
a half?   It's live, you know.  And so we did the dress, and when we
did the dress rehearsal, by the end of the dress rehearsal, Lorne comes
up to me and goes, you know, we're wondering if you could do something
about the tan, you're looking a little orange.   I was like, you're the
one who sent her here!  I was so terrified.  But then it washed off
really nicely.

QUESTION: DO YOU ALWAYS FAKE TAN?

Lindsay: Yeah, I don't go in the sun that much.

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU LIKE DOING SNY?

Lindsay: I love it.  I plan to do it at least every year.

QUESTION: DID YOU THINK YOU'D GET A CALL THIS WEEK TO BE THE WHITE HOUSE SPOKESPERSON?

Lindsay: Oh! [laughs]  Did you see my face?   I don't think I'd do a bad
job.
