I really like this boy, and when school starts I'd like
to ask him out. Should I go for it? I tried this before
with someone else and it turned into heartache.
Alicia:
Everyone is different. In my case, I've tried it a lot of
times - and sometimes been totally humiliated but , I'd
say give it a shot, if you're willing to accept the
philosophy of 'who cares - he doesn't really know me,'
so, if I'm rejected it's nothing personal - cause he
doesn't really know my person anyway.

Don't you get tired of answering so many questions?
Alicia:
Yes. I get really bored talking about myself. It's pretty
boring.

Do you sometimes feel that animals are better friends
than humans? (I do)
Alicia:
Absolutely. I've never been so happy to see someone as
when I saw Samson (my dog) after a month's separation. As
an animal lover, it would be wonderful for you to teach
people to protect all creatures and you can start by
telling people that they're truly a friend to an animal
when they get a dog or a cat from a rescue organization
or the pound and, never breeders or pet stores.

Will you marry me?? PLEASE!!!! No, well will you tell me
how to get a date when I'm a nerd?
Alicia:
Embrace the nerd inside of you. I like to think that in
my proudest moments, I am a nerd. If you concentrate on
what you're interested in and are interested in what
other people have to offer, then chances are you will be
interesting to others and to yourself. You will also find
yourself amused and sometimes possibly disappointed in
what you see around you.

What is your favorite time of the day and why?
Alicia:
12 am - 4am, but it may not be healthy....it's the only
time I can think, alone.
Question submitted 8/13 by S. Maiti from
Manitoba
Do you agree with the phrase "nice guys always
finish last"?
Alicia:
No. Nice guys definitely aren't welcome into society or
given fair shakes - but they will never come in last.
They always finish on top in my book.

Hey! I was watching Batman and Robin in the theaters
(nice high kick) & I saw your preview for Excess
Baggage. I noticed that not only were you wearing the
same outfit through the entire preview but also that
there was a shot of you beside your costar's car. You
were smoking! I have been a fan of yours since
"Clueless" but I will say on behalf of most
people I know that I was appalled. You as a teen star are
a role model to millions of girls worldwide. Would you
please reconsider doing actions such as this on camera
because they can only harm the minds of your young
viewers. Thank you.
Alicia:
I appreciate your concern. Obviously you didn't see the
movie. My character, Emily, has no guidance and uses
smoking as a crutch (along with many other negative
behaviors). By the end of the film, when Emily becomes a
more whole person, she no longer needs her crutch and
puts the cigarette down.
I don't advocate smoking to anyone, but
again, I appreciate your concern.

What personality traits do you look for in friends???
Alicia:
Somebody that I can feel comfortable with. Somebody that
I don’t feel I have to monitor my actions or
behavior with. Someone who’s funny and inspiring.
Someone who you can have a blast with and trust at the
end of the day.
Question submitted 8/06 by B. Cowan
This probably won't get answered but, I belong to a
mailing list in which we discuss our favorite
actress.....yourself (and it's not like a smutty place
it's just a whole lotta friends who like to get together
and discuss your films, your personality, your passions,
and, well - you. (By the way, just recently we got onto
the subject of animal rights and you have swayed many
people on our list about eating meat - myself included)
To the question: Recently a man joined and claimed he
knew you! That's cool - one more person on the list but,
unfortunately, it is very hard to trust a person you have
never seen and only know by a few words. So I was
wondering if you could verify his existence for us, or
non-existence as the case may be. He said his name was
Bryan and that he worked in your building at Sony. He
claimed you got a kick out of reading the funny postings
left on our group. Does he exist? Thank you very much.
Can't wait for Excess Baggage!
Alicia:
Not that I’m aware of, at all.
Thank you so much for supporting my work. I hope you guys
like Excess Baggage.
Question submitted 8/06
What kind of films would you like to make Alicia? And
what would have to be in the script to attract you to the
film?"
Alicia:
I think the answer to that question changes with every
moment in my life. Right now, I lean towards stories that
are real in one way or another. I also look for
characters that are real. Whether the role is scary,
funny or just a moment out of life ... I want to be
challenged.
Question submitted 8/05 by J. Hudson from
Connecticut
Hi Alicia! First if all, I wanted to say that you are a
very talented actress. Next, I wanted to ask what it was
like to both star in and produce a film at the same time.
That is quite an accomplishment!
Alicia:
Thank you....I’m shy. It was hard, challenging and
great! It was really fun.
