Anna Faris

Anna: My parents were really strict when I was growing up. When we all went to the theatre to see the first Scary Movie I warned my momma when I told her to get up and go and buy popcorn, she had to go and buy popcorn. But I'd like to think that I'd broken my parents in early. At least because I could have been part of a raunchier movie so that when I go on to play a crack whore that's naked all the time my parents won't be so upset.

Anna: There are a lot of great comediennes who have influenced me. But I never ever thought that I would have any comedic ability. My family didn't think so either. My brother said to me the other day: "What happened to you? You used to be so uptight and anal and serious. Now you're fun-loving and really cool to be around."

Anna: (when asked, "Are you a funny person?") No! I really don't think that I am. I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work. So it came as a surprise to my family and friends that I was in this comedy. Now I can't get a dramatic role to save my life! I only do comedy now so it's funny how life takes a turn.
