完整訪問:
On The L Word, her character Molly Kroll was one of the few girls who didn't
fall apart when Shane ended their relationship, earninb Molly the respect of
lesbians everywhere. In real life, Clementine Ford's coming out was steeped
in controversy. After the U.K. lesbian magazine DIVA featured her on its
cover with the tagline "Clementine Ford Comes Out," and suggested in the
accompanying article that she'd had real sex on-set with her co-star Kate
Moening, Ford told TV Guide she'd been misquoted and had not come out to
DIVA. This statement led to a backlash from the queer community. A few months
on, she talks to Curve about "that" interview, working with her famous mom (
Cybill Shepherd, who played her on-screen mother, Phyllis Kroll, in the cult
dyke drama ), her new role on The Young And The Restless and her passion for
strong women and bad reality TV shows.
Q: Well, first pf all, thanks for talking to Curve, especially since you've
not had the best experience with lesbian magazines. Your coming out was
pretty rough. Now that you've had time to reflect on the whole thing, what
are your thoughts on it?
A: I should have known better. There were some clues, definitely, in the con-
-versation. [ The DIVA writer ] kept saying, "Thanks for coming out" and
and I'm like, "But I didn't." I've learned my lesson - my gut said some-
-thing was wrong.
Q: The really bizarre part was the inference that you had real sex on-set
with Kate Moenning, who plays Shane.
A: That was ridiculous, just silly.
Q: After doing an interview with TV Guide in which you denied coming out to
DIVA, some thought that you'd gone back into the closet. The Advocate
then reported you as saying that you're gay, but just so we're super clear
, can you clarify that you are a lesbian?
A: We're clear on that!
Q: Let's talk about your time on The L Word. What impact did it have on your
life?
A: Well, not to be all crazy feminist and whatever, but there is something
really incredible.....take the lesbian thing aside - so much of the crew
were women, and being in that environment, working with so many strong
women, was so empowering. It made me feel really positive.
Q: Not all actors have had a great experience on the show. How was yours?
A: It is scary, going into that situation. You're going into a group of people
who are close, personally and professionally, and I think you get back how
go in. I had the warmest welcome, from day one, from everybody.
Q: How was it playing mother-daughter with your actual mom, Cybill Shepherd?
A: I feel I got to learn so much. To work with someone who is my mum in real
life made it easier to play and gave me something else to work with for
future roles.
Q: Did she give you any acting tips?
A: No! We work in very different ways. We didn't work together all that much.
I had my own dynamic with how I worked with the crew and cast. We stayed
out of each other's way.
Q: How did you feel about the way Shane and Molly's relationship ended?
A: I think it's a shame, but it's good to see someone not completely fall
apart over Shane, because so many girls did. It would have been more inte-
-resting and fun if we hadn't broken up and I would have been there more
in season 6! People do change. I think people are capable of making those
changes. I know people who are like Shane, and when you see them make that
change it's extraordinary.
Q: Would you ever date someone like Shane?
A: That's funny [ because ] I think I have. I think we have all dated someone
like Shane - and been someone like Shane at some point. There're people
out there who would have some stories about me that are not great.
Q: Out of all the L Word characters, who would you most like to date?
A: Probably, I would have to say, [ as ] me, Clementine, picking a random
character, I'd probably date Shane.
Q: What kind of women are you attracted to?
A: I'm a big fan of strong women who can hold their own, are not easily swayed
or pished and have really strong opinions. My girlfriend is [ musician and
songwriter ] Linda Perry. Not exactly a wet noodle! Because I'm very - I
hate to call myself strong but I've been told I can bulldoze over people
if they let me, so I need someone who can stand up and not let me walk over
them.
Q: You've become a bit of a lesbian icon now. How does it feel?
A: I think that's the funniest thing I have heard all week. I've never thought
of myself as a lesbian icon before. One thing I can say - forget the "icon"
thing - but one thing I learned from The L Word is that there is a big
separation. I have had straight come up to me in public. But if you go to
a lesbian bar, you're going to get the famous thing, but when you're not
in that environment, people kind of don't care. I'm a huge loser and I
don't go out much anymore to bars. Lesbian icon - now I feel pressure!
Q: What political or social issues do you feel strongly about?
A: We don't even need to talk about Prop. 8, right? I have friends that rescue
animals and I do little things for them, and I volunteered at a cancer
support center. Little quiet things. I don't so much stand out on the
forefront waving flags. I'm fascinated to see what Obama will do and bring
out in me. Part of the problem with my generation is we haven't really had
to fight for anything, so we'll see what happens with the abortion issue
and gay marriage.
Q: What's your take on same-sex marraige?
A: I feel like there should not be discrimination or segregation in that way.
I wouldn't want to stop my sister getting married if she wanted to, so I
don't understand how someone down the street would want to stop me getting
married. I think marriage is outdated and kind of silly, but at the same
time, if they get to do it, I want to do it, too.
Q: Did you have any concerns that coming out might adversely affect your
career?
A: Yes, after I had already done it! My grandmother called my mom and said,
"She's never going to work again, Cybill. Why did she do that?" and I was
like, "Oh, what have I done?" Then I thought about it and, really, I'm on
The Young And The Restless and I'm playing opposite a couple of men. To
me, I'm playing that part, and if you don't buy it, either I'm not doing
my job or you're looking for something to be wrong. I know there are people
my mum has worked with, and they didn't have any attraction to each other,
but you buy it on screen.
Q: What appealed to you about the role of Mackenzie "Mac" Browning on The
Young And The Restless?
A: The producers said they loved Molly and her dry attitude. Mac is not as
snarky but she's really strong and it's fun to play someone who is strong
and can stand up to so much and be this rock. it's very close to me.
Q: How similar was Molly to you?
A: It was funny because the first few episodes, you find your way, then you
spend time with the writers and a few things I suggested ended up in the
script. A lot of my attitude, and me, ended up being written in. Kate
[ Moenning ] and I had great chemistry. We had the ability to play off
each other because of the way the characters were written.
Q: There's a real dearth of strong women on TV. They're usually victims.
A: Yeah, and it's so boring. I've been the put-upon wife. I've been a poison-
-ous character. I've been left, and chased after some guy, but it's so
boring because it's not real. I don't think the weepy, whiny women are
representative of what's out there. If I take a cross-section of my very
best friends, they are so strong and incredible and can take care of them-
-selves, and we don't see enough of that.
Q: When I interviewed Lorna Luft a while ago, she spoke about how difficult
it could be as Judy Garland's daughter, and how she had problems with her
self-esteem and identity from having had such a famous mom. Is that some-
-thing you can relate to?
A: Yeah, it's hard. I've got a lot of opportunityies because of who my mom is.
I've been lucky but.....we have stopped doing a lot of stuff together for
the most part. There comes a point in your career where you're going to be
known as Cybill Shepherd's daughter or I'm going to fail at being me. I'd
rather succeed or fail as being me.
Q: So what do you do in your downtime?
A: I spend a lot of time with my dogs. I don't drink, so I don't go out much.
I've done a lot of bowling lately, which I'm not good at, but I like it.
I do write and draw and make little things for my friends that are kind of
like comic strips. I watch a lot of really bad reality TV. I used to give
interviews and make up things, saying I've been reading Dickens all week-
-end, but the truth is, I watch bad TV. I watch The Biggest Loser.
Q: What about America's Next Top Model?
A: That's my favorite! I'll tell you a secret - and she might get mad at me
but I don't care, print it - Elizabeth Keener, who plays Dawn Denbo, loves
America's Next Top Model. We text each other about it.
BTW, 裡面的照片很可愛.
