Julia Roberts Interview...

Hollywood icon Julia Roberts at the release of her amazing new comedy American Sweethearts this week in Ireland.

Here she talks on the film, her co-stars and playing the role of Kiki alongside Catherine Zeta Jones.

Q: How did you feel on playing the role of Kiki, seems as in the movie she is Catherine Zeta Jones' long suffering sister?

Julia Well, you know, Kiki really?because when it was sent to me, I was asked to look at Gwen, um, the part of Gwen. And as I was reading it, it was so funny and just seemed so, um, kind of whimsical and farcical. But the thing that stood out to me was Kiki. And what's this little secret girl all about? So, when I called Joe (Director Joe Roth) back and I said, "You know, just, it's a really funny script and, you know, what would you think about me playing Kiki?" And he went for it, so here we are.

Q: How did you feel about the rest of the cast on the movie?

Julia Well, but what's what, you know, Joe, I mean, I don't know how he pulled this cast together. It's such a great cast. From Chris Walken to Seth Green, I mean, everybody is just so good in what they're executing. And when I saw it, I was actually really kind of beamed with pride with what we'd achieved. And not that I didn't think we couldn't achieved it, but I was really pleased with us. And I think that ultimately, if you go, um, at the very least, you'll walk out with a smile on your face.

Q: How did you feel on the comedy role?

Julia I think we struck a very delicate, accurate balance, because we're silly. I mean, we're out there. We're silly. We, we, we mean to be silly and to make people laugh. But I think that all comedy comes from truth. So, if you have a true core and then dress it up kind of goofy, that's funny.

Q: So how did you feel about working with the films director Joe Roth?

Julia Well, you know, Joe has directed movies before. And I've known Joe since I was a teenager, dare I say. And, um, I've always been very aware of his desire to, you know, direct more movies. And when he said, you know, "I'd like to direct this movie," I was totally behind it, because I believe in anybody, you know. Whatever tiny little voice is saying, "Oh, do this other little thing" you know. I always wanted him to do it. When he said "This is what I want to do," I was so happy to not only support it, but then participate in it.

Q: How about the rest of the cast?

Julia There's just things to play and that's the most fun and that's the best bit. And at the end of the day, to walk out saying "You know, these people that I work with are doing a really good job." The fact that we all came out of this madness better friends than we ever went into it, I think speaks volumes for what an ensemble really means.
