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?
Ricci wears her shoulderlel
tucked over each ear, displjl
moon-shaped face and BetteDi|
She is outfitted in black leather;'
wears a thick bracelet madei;j
looks like a bicycle chain. Her
are painted red.
