We were sitting around today, the movie's not out yet, so we were watching clips from the film, of most amazing action sequences in this movie.

Yeah, and there's this one where this guy is shooting at Jet Li.

I think people have seen this because it's in the commercials.

He's like shooting him with a machine gun, and the only thing around is a pool table, and he runs at it, kicks a ball out of the pocket of the pool table, and then kicks the pool ball in midair, and hits a guy off the head.

It's stuff like that, I like it when they get that inventive, like, we'll, you know, because everything's been done at this point, that they're like, no, a pool table will be in the room, and he'll kick a ball, and then do that, and it was, but it works, it's great.

And you're mentioning things that I haven't seen yet.

You're talking about stuff that I wasn't in, so I am gonna have the most fun when I go to see it.

Now, I didn't, are you fighting in this movie?

Are you in there with Jet Li, karate chopping people, kicking and- I am escaping.

Is that what they taught you in acting school, from scared?

Gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung.

It's like, you learned that from a Warner Brothers cartoon.

But, but- All my acting is- But is that, I mean, so you don't have to actually get in there, cause I, what he's doing looks impossible.

I think I would audition for the part where I'm like running away, or no, please.

Is that, so that's mostly what you're doing, but you have to, do you get hit at all in the movie?

I do, I take, I take quite a bit, but none of it, the bruised choking neck, the- Right.

Taking punches, none of it compares to having to run in platform, thigh boots, on cobblestone in Paris.

What's funny is that you play, you play a prostitute in the movie, and so you have to, you know, dress a certain way.

And I heard that you actually brought some of your own clothes.

Well, no, I mean, not from my own wardrobe.

I, I actually decided, okay, I'm going to Paris to play hooker, but I must make a stop in Hollywood.

So I went and got these array of shoes to choose from, not knowing anything about what I was going to have to do, but I knew there I will, I am a hooker, there will be shoes.

Cause the original title of the movie was not the barefoot hooker.

Do you, you know, what's, what's funny, cause it would be bad if they said, you're playing a hooker in this movie, and, and, and you're like, what should I wear?

It's good that you went out and bought these things.

Now, have you ever dressed up this way before, you know, for a role or something, and then gone out?

Cause I know in Jackie Brown, you were wearing really short shorts, and you were, you were dressed in this provocative way.

And I'm asking for a reason, cause once I was in like a failed TV pilot, which makes a lot of sense, but, and I had to play, I was, I had a minor part, and I played a policeman, and I was wearing the policeman's outfit, and I couldn't help it.

I walked off the lot and started walking around and telling people like, move it along, move it along, you know.

Did you ever want to walk off the lot and like walk around in real life in these kinds of clothes?

You know, you've been doing it for how many months?

And then I- So you were just wearing these clothes and you didn't, you, this is for Jackie Brown, right?

Did you- No, Jackie Brown, well, this, I didn't know what I was going to do, and suddenly I was doing it.

Cause I arrived and then wham, we were going, we went, we moved so fast.

So I didn't really have any time to get used to what I was going to have to live in for the next three months and be ogled in.

But in Jackie Brown, I had a little time.

I thought, okay, I'm not going to get used to this easily.

So I think maybe what I'll do is go dive in and go to a pool hall in hot pants and platform shoes just to get over it.

And just to sort of research what it feels like.

I mean, did they say- No, I, well, I mean, I don't know.
