Okay, so if you havent seen this interview yet, I highly recommend it:
svucrib.com/stephanie.html
and click on "Interview:Caroline Rhea"
I had to transcribe it for someone else, so here that is too:
*Opens with trumpets playing*
CAROLINE: I love that song. Our next guest plays the extremely ambicious Assistant District Attourny Alexandra Cabot on the very popular Law and Order:SVU. Take a look.
*cut to clip from SVU episode "Guilt"*
ELLIOT: You just take cases you can win?
ALEX: I try the cases I am handed by this squad. You dont like the evidence I've got, find me some more. I cant do your job too.
ELLIOT: You cant do my what?
CRAGEN: Outta line Alex.
ALEX: *Yelling* I am not out of line and I dont work for you. You work for me at my disgression. Your sole purpose in this process is to bring me a case I can prosecute, not one I have to fix!
*Side note... i LOVE this episode. This is a great Alex episode to watch. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.*
*Back to the regular show*
CAROLINE: OOhhh... *applause from the crowd* Please welcome the very beautiful Stephanie March.
*Stephanie walks out, hugs Caroline, and sits down in a chair next to her*
Caroline: You are beautiful, I saw Chris checking you out down the hall, he was like bobbing his head.
*They both laugh*
STEPHANIE: Yes! No, thank you.
CAROLINE: Please tell me you're nothing like that evil, rotten character.
STEPHANIE: No I am nothing like her. No. We've got the same...height. Thats about it.
*Laughs*
CAROLINE: Is it hard playing somebody that rotten?
STEPHANIE:*Laughs* So do you feel she's rotten? Yeah, no, its not, uh...
CAROLINE: I think she's tough.
STEPHANIE: I think she's really tough. I think- well thats the thing about these shows is that you end up- I mean the subject matter of the show is so grim, its like what can you do with that. You know, so and so is raped, a six year old is raped by her father. *Waves hands around* Uh, hilarity ensues. You know, thats not how it works.
CAROLINE: Right.
STEPHANIE: So, with the show, you kind of have to be... striaght forward, dead on--
CAROLINE: Right.
STEPHANIE: Serious.
CAROLINE: Isnt that kind of exausting, portraying that?
STEPHANIE: Well it gets, kind of boring *nodding*. Yeah.
CAROLINE: Yeah.
STEPHANIE: Yeah. They also have this thing on our show where they dont like people to... touch eachother *says questioninly* They've decided thats too human for the show. So,
*Laughs from crowd*
STEPHANIE: Glad to know im playing the, ROBOT lawyer. So, so you're kind of, like, you know, you're always like this and then you're really angry and then your really mean and thats kind of what you do for three seasons. And then after a while you think, OK, can I smile once? And they say "Nah, your character doesnt really smile."
*Laughs from crowd*
STEPHANIE: *laughing* And you say OK, and thats it.
CAROLINE: So your character doesnt smile or touch people.
STEPHANIE: She doesnt smile or touch people, or eat, evidentally, we're not allowed to eat on the show. Smile, touch people, she doesnt wear barrets.
*Caroline says something that i cant make out, that apparently she thinks is funny but no one else laughs *
STEPHANIE: She's not allowed to wear things in her hair, she doesnt wear long earrings-
CAROLINE: You know what, I feel bad for you *Reaching for something on her desk, comes back with a tiara* You put this tiara on for at least this whole interview. OK?
*Stephanie starts laughing triumphantly, as the audience cheers, and she shows it off, then sticks it on her head.*
CAROLINE: There you go.
STEPHANIE: Do you like it?
CAROLINE: Yeah. And if you would like *Stephanie begins waving her hands around her tiara like she is one of those women that shows off the prizes on the Price is Right* we can hold hands and you can smile the entire time.
STEPHANIE: Ok!
*Laughs*
CAROLINE: But I heard that you're actually leaving the show.
STEPHANIE: I am leaving the show.
*Slight "Aw" from the crowd*
CAROLINE: For the very reasons you were just describing?
STEPHANIE: *Laughs* Um, well kind of. There's a certain amount of time that you can do one job before you've kind of done as much as you can do there.
CAROLINE: Right.
STEPHANIE: Does that make sense?
CAROLINE: Yes, but they're just letting you go?
STEPHANIE: Uh, but they've been really nice about it actually. I have a really great relationship with the people who work on the show. And its been a wonderful
job for me, and Dick Wolf is a fantastic producer, a kind person and I said I want to leave and try something else and he said "Ok."
CAROLINE: Any ideas what you want to try?
STEPHANIE: None, I have NO job or any prospect so.
CAROLINE: But how liberating!
STEPHANIE: Well it can be liberating.
CAROLINE: Yeah, it can be.
STEPHANIE: Or it can be, i mean i can brush up my waitressing. Which i did quite a bit of actually, so.
CAROLINE: I was a waitress for a long time.
STEPHANIE: Were you really.
CAROLINE: I was fired when i brought the soup, the entree, and the dessert, all at the same time.
*Laughs*
STEPHANIE: Oh you were SO fired.
CAROLINE: I was very fired.
STEPHANIE: What kind of restaurant did you work at?
CAROLINE: Uh, not a bad, it was like a bad restaurant, and i was like a cater waiter too.
STEPHANIE: See, thats really crappy.
CAROLINE: Yeah.
STEPHANIE: Did you have to wear the tie?
*Laughs*
CAROLINE: Yeah, i was dressed as a-
STEPHANIE:Yeah I had to wear that too.
*Ramblings i cant decipher, Stephanie mentions wearing something else*
STEPHANIE: It was totally sexy.
CAROLINE: And they get all excited because I was a woman and uniform, and they were like, pigs.
STEPHANIE: Mmm...And then passing things *motions like she's carrying a tray*
CAROLINE: I passed those little, pigs in a blanket? No no no, what am i talking about, I used to pass caviar, and people would say "Do you have any pigs in a blanket, and i would say "Yes but im busy serving them." Would you, um-
*Stephanie is laughing hysterically at this point*
CAROLINE: Yeah.
STEPHANIE: That was very good.
CAROLINE: But when you were little, did you think "I'm going to be an actress, thats it?"
STEPHANIE: Yeah, I really did. I think if you wanted to do anything else ever, you probably should. Cuz its not... I mean this is kind of--
CAROLINE: I dont think i could do anything else ever though, could you be really happy doing that?
STEPHANIE: You mean other than acting?
CAROLINE: Yeah. I mean if its--
STEPHANIE: No, i mean if you feel that way about something, then you should pursue that other thing. Because there's so much rejection in this profession. And its so chancy. And you know, half the time you're unemployed, so unless you really love it, dont pick it.I mean, if you want to be wealthy, go into banking.
CAROLINE: Right.
STEPHANIE: You know, dont, dont be an actor to get rich. Because *laughs* thats not exactly how it works.
CAROLINE: Well there's--
STEPHANIE: I say this with a tiara on my head.
*Laughs from crowd*
CAROLINE: Dont go anywhere, we're going to continue talking to little young Stephanie, and we're going to think of something happy for her to do, dont go anywhere.
*Stephanie begins to giggle* *Applause, music, fade out*
*Applause, more music, fade in*
CAROLINE: We're back with Stephanie March, who, is very comfortable *Motions to tiara* in my tiara. She likes it.
*Stephanie nods*
STEPHANIE: I'm a princess at heart *Aw!! Heehee*
CAROLINE: You're allowed to have it!
STEPHANIE: Well thank you, I'll keep it.
CAROLINE: And, Im going to make you a sweet potato, what do we call them, sweet potato princesses? No, sweet potato... *Looks at crew for some direction.* Oh, would you like some big ass dip? *Brings out bowl with dip in it*
*Laughter*
STEPHANIE: I would Love some big ass dip.
CAROLINE: Big ass cheese dip cuz it gives you that.
STEPHANIE: Dip spackle? Yes.
CAROLINE: Yes. Would you like some dip spackle?
STEPHANIE: Yeah i love Fritos actually, i am a big Frito person.
CAROLINE: Who doesn't love Friots?
STEPHANIE: Who does not love Fritos?
CAROLINE: And your husband--oops not husband yet, I'm projecting, your boyfriend that may be your husband someday? Huh huh huh maybe?
*Stephanie points to her mouth, indicating that it is full*
STEPHANIE AND CAROLINE: Your mouth is full.
CAROLINE: Yeah ok, yeah, I know. Um...
*Laughs*
STEPHANIE: *mouth still half full* That is really good.
CAROLINE: Thats my idea of fun. Sitting with a girlfriend eating really crappy dip.
*Laughs*
STEPHANIE: I think its pretty good actually.
CAROLINE: Its addictive. But your boyfriend is Bobby Flay, super chef.
STEPHANIE: He is indeed.
CAROLINE: And your eating this crap.
STEPHANIE: I know!
*Crowd is clapping*
STEPHANIE: Im spoiled!
CAROLINE: How did you guys meet, i love him, ive been to his restaurant a thousand times. He's the sweetest, sweetest guy.
STEPHANIE: I love him too. Oh yeah, thats us. *Caroline is showing a picture*
*Applause*
STEPHANIE: There we are. Our mafia picture. Um-
*Caroline laughs*
STEPHANIE: We met, uh, Mariska, who is on the show, set us up, actually.
CAROLINE: I love Mariska, she's hilarious.
STEPHANIE: She's hysterical. Many people do not know that about Mariska, but she's really funny.
CAROLINE: Uh huh.
STEPHANIE: And one of his oldest best friends was one of our camera men. So they conspired to set us up. And it was the first time either one of us had been on a blind date and it, and it worked out.
CAROLINE: Thats because you're beautiful physical specimens, you know, its not the average blind date. *Dont i agree *
*Stephanie is laughing*
CAROLINE: The average blind date is "Oh dont let it be that person." And you know, thats what happens.
*Laughing hyssterically now*
STEPHANIE: It worked out better than that.
CAROLINE: Now, Ive got pictures of your vacation where'd you guys go?
STEPHANIE: We took a trip. *taking the whole bowl of dip into her lap* We went to Barcelona for New Years. Which was great. We went to Spain.
CAROLINE: Who.. isnt that the cutest thing you've ever seen, whats that? *Shows picture*
STEPHANIE: Thats a buffalo.
CAROLINE: It is?
STEPHANIE: Yeah. It is. See, we were there for New Years, and New Years Day--
CAROLINE: They dont have wings!
STEPHANIE: Nothing is-- *laughs hysterically at Caroline's comment*
CAROLINE: Thank you.
STEPHANIE: We're having dip. And nothing was open but the zoo, so we decided, well lets go to the zoo. So we did, and we have a number of pictures from the zoo.
CAROLINE: The first date Bob and I went on, we went to the zoo.
STEPHANIE: Did you go to the zoo here?
CAROLINE: No,and ever single set of animals were having sex. Wherever we walked by. I'm not kidding. The camels were having sex. And i was like "It would be nice if the members of the animal kingdom were not as far along in their relationships, i mean, are farther along. You know, it was totally embarrassing.
*Laughter*
CAROLINE: Sorry. Anywhays, thank you for being here with me.
STEPHANIE: Camel sex is cool.
CAROLINE: Camel sex IS cool *saying like she cant believe Stephanie just said that* Watch the Caroline Rhea show.
*Laughs*
CAROLINE: Watch Stephanie every Friday night on Law and Order: SVU at 10PM on NBC. I want to go, we're going to go say hi to Bobby. We're going to be eating. We'll be right back.
