Page 4 * Tuesday, November 16, 1999 Christina Ricci: I can’t imagine how boring I would be if I just had to be normal; it’s hard to pretend to be something you’re NEW YORK (AP) — Sometimes Christi na Ricci just wishes she kept her yap shut. “When I get annoyed, I tend to get really sarcastic,” the actress said ruefully as she fired up a cigarette. “It doesn’t translate.” Ricci’s current foot-in-mouth hangover was prompted by an exchange a few hours ago with a panel of reporters who were ea ger to pick apart her self-image. Does Ricci, the reporters asked, ever as pire for a less off-kilter film career? Will she ever abandon that cool Gothic air? Does she ever yearn for more commercial looks? “Of course,” Ricci calmly responded. “I al ways wanted to be Jennifer Love Hewitt.” Nervous laughter followed. “I know that I say things all the time and I don’t realize how it’s going to turn into something else,” Ricci said, wincing at the memory. “Then, five minutes later, I’m like, ‘What were you thinking?’ “But I just can’t imagine how boring it would be if I had to sit and just say the nor mal: ‘Oh, yeah. I’m really happy with my life! And God, I love myself! “1 can’t imagine how boring that would be. I think I’d have to kill myself! I mean, it’s tedious enough as it is sometimes with out having to pretend to be something that you’re not.” Ricci finds herself at age 19 trying to shake her vampy indie film image, much the way she slipped out of the ultra-adorable roles of her childhood. This time it is harder. “I think it’s because most of the roles I play are so strong,” she said. “The charac ters are so specific and strong and usually a little bit shocking. “And because of that, people just assume that someone who chooses that kind of role would probably be just like that think Christopher Walken isrei man. You know what I mean?
