Alicia Witt

Alicia Witt: I don't know that I'm actually bipolar, but I definitely have huge mood swings, and I'm definitely passionate about the way I feel. I'm not really lukewarm one way or the other.

Alicia Witt: (On filming "Fun") We shot it in eight days. It was such an intense experience I didn't have time to get out of character at all. I felt like I was going crazy at night when I went to bed, because I was Bonnie. I couldn't leave Bonnie's skin. Our dressing rooms were detention center cells. The prison scenes were all shot at the Los Angeles Detention Center for Youths in downtown L.A. - really horrible neighborhood - and I saw all the prisoners in their orange jumpsuits, which meant they had killed someone, and they were all looking at us pretending we were prisoners and they hated us for that. It just felt like we were making a documentary. It didn't feel like a real film.

Alicia Witt: My parents knew I was into music and they felt that I should be taking piano lessons, but they couldn't really afford a piano. We were lucky to end up getting a Baldwin piano lent to us. I played, like, four hours a day and I started entering classical piano competitions and actually went on several national ones. It was something I took really seriously.
