You, Rachael
Leigh Cook, and Rosario Dawson seem to
get on so well on screen, did you know
each other before coming onto this film?
No, none of us knew each
other before doing this, but that was
great. As soon as we met we knew we'd
get along. That was so important. I
think when we went to band camp that
really brought us close together too. We
bonded, it wasn't like we bonded as
actors and felt competitive, we bonded
like we were a team which is a big
difference. We had a great experience on
this movie.
Could any of you
play any instruments before this film?
None of us could, we had
to learn them. We all started out
together. I don't have any particular
musical influences, but we watched The
Go-Gos, The Bangles, and stuff like
that, because there aren't too many girl
groups who play their own instruments,
except those from the 80s. I became
pretty good. Even a professional drummer
couldn't have played those three songs
better than I could. There's no way. The
same with the other girls.
Did the notion of
sudden fame strike a chord with you
after you did "American Pie"?
I could identify with
that definitely, fame does change
things. People do look at you
differently, they talk about you, and
occasionally you do sit next to somebody
who's reading a magazine with a picture
of you on the cover. Weird stuff happens
all the time.
"Josie and the Pussycats" is released
in UK cinemas on Friday 24th August
2001.
