NY Times interview with Mary-Louise Parker - "DRIVE" revival in her future?#1

Posted: 3/3/08 at 6:38am

This is the second or third interview I've read with Mary-Louise Parker where she mentions that she's aiming to do a revival of How I Learned to Drive. But it's the first where it's mentioned that it would be with David Morse, who starred opposite her.

That said...interesting...article to say the least. It's almost as cringe-worthy as Raul Esparza's "I'm not gay but I have sex with men despite being married" interview. Is it just me, or do more and more of their "interviews" seem like ambushes nowadays?

I have such a great respect for her. She seems very human and down to earth.

I met her at the RECKLESS stage door a few years ago and asked her to take a photo with me, and she laughed and said, "I look like sh*t," and agreed to take the photo.

She looked GORGEOUS.

I think she's great (beyond great, actually), as well, but I can't help but think that this may not have been the best focus of the article...

Strange interview. But Parker is great.

Huh. The first paragraph and a sentence alone made me uncomfortable. Really awkward attempt at trying to convey her personality.

A work of art is an invitation to love.

I guess a little awkward, but I love her last quote.

Haven't read the article yet but I really hope the revival happens.
