HW: You fired a major gun in this film--what was that like?!
HD: It was totally weird and I felt so weird doing it. First of all, I’m in the worst white wedding dress I’ve ever seen--and I kind of look like a hooker? The shortest, tackiest, craziest dress--and [sproting] purple hair?! It was out of control, but John Cusack was just like, “Go for it! Go for it!” Shooting that gun was insane!! I’ve shot a gun before…I’m from Texas…c'mon! [Slyly chuckling] But, not a machine gun--and not like that.
HW: Do you think this film will influence your choice in roles going forward?
HD: I hope so. I didn’t do movies for a long time because nobody really wanted to take a chance on me. I think I got typecast…for two and half years I was singing and making records and touring--thank god I could do that! But, when this role came along I was SO excited. Since then there have been two independent movies that I’ve done … and they’re both darker comedies and more mature. They’re not going to be huge blockbuster movies, but it’s nice to do something different and play around.
