Tara ReidTARA REID ON HER NEW MOVIE "AMERICAN REUNION":
Of course there’s always pressure. But you can only do what you can do. You try to do your best work and than work hard to promote it. However, at the end of the day, we’re not doing an Academy Award winning movie with Meryl Streep. It’s a comedy and it’s fun.
ON BEING THE FIRST PARTY GIRL:
I agree with you. I was on the cover of every tabloid. Yes, technically I was one of the first “Party girls”. But I was so young when it all started. I have since grown up, but I’m also not saying I still don’t like to have a good time and go out. But I’ve grown up. I think you’ll see that through my work and how I am these days. It’s like learning how to walk. You can never prepare for that kind of success. It happens and than you have to learn how to deal with it. With success come good times and bad times and I’ve had my fair share of both.
ON LINDSAY LOHAN:
I can’t really give Lindsay advice. It’s kind of a weird comparison because I’m not her. She’s much younger than me and we’re totally two different kinds of people. Lindsay got in trouble with the law. I’ve never been arrested or in trouble with the law in my life. My biggest crime is dancing on a table or being in San Tropez popping champagne. That’s it with me. It’s not me going to jail or seeing me in court. So I can’t really give her any advice about the trouble she’s gotten in. Eventually the story gets old. There’s always going to be another actress and another story. Eventually everything changes. But the moral of the story is also; you don’t have to end your story there. You can change and move on and learn from your mistakes. You just keep going.
ON DOING "DANCING WITH THE STARS":
They’ve asked me to do it a million times, but to be honest with you, I just couldn’t do it. I’m not that well coordinated. I would really be setting myself up with something like that. I mean, never say never. But definitely not right now.
DO YOU WATCH YOUR OWN FILMS:
I don’t really watch my own films. I think I’ve done 32 movies in my life. I’ve seen them all but I don’t watch them. There’re many more movies I would rather watch than watching myself. Watching a film and actually making it is weird. It’s not the same experience. I’d rather move on to the next thing and see what happens. You never really like yourself in a film. You always think you sound weird and you look weird.
ON HER EATING DISORDER:
That’s one thing people say, but I’ve never had an eating disorder. Ever. Every tabloid has made up that story. But everyone who knows me knows that I have no problem eating. I’m thin, but I don’t have an eating problem. Thank God!
ON THE JERSEY SHORE CAST:
I look at those Jersey shows on television and they’re just comical! People from Jersey just aren’t like that. They’re really not! We’re not all like that. We did a skit with the Jersey Shore cast for American Reunion and I was in shock that they were really like that! I will never forget where I’m from, but come on, not everyone from New Jersey is like those people. I’m not just picking on Jersey Shore. They are all crazy. The hair people, the housewives…. All those Jersey reality shows are crazy and we’re just not all like that. I don’t know anyone like that and I’m from Jersey.
