Kristin, did you model before you started acting?

Kristin: No, I didn’t even think about it for a minute. I really don’t like those magazine girls, because they’re the perfect skinny girls, who made all my friends and everyone around me feel insecure and uncomfortable with themselves and I don’t want to be a part of that world.

Don’t you feel like you are one of those girls in the magazines now?

Kristin: Being there as an actress is different than as a model. I believe the way I present myself and that’s an entirely different thing than another picture in the magazine. I also really don’t like the Hollywood approach that actors have to be as skinny as possible. People should see the beauty in a girl no matter how much she weighs and I hope that will change in time.

Is this strong opinion part of the education you got at home?

Kristin: Definitely. My dad’s Dutch and my mom’s Chinese, so she was responsible for being tough with me and with my sister. That’s the Asian part in my personality, being conservative. I couldn’t date until I was 16 and I wasn’t allowed to wear any make-up until that age and any grade at school under a B was a disaster. Everything is part of the education I got and the weight problems with girls I knew closely, because my little sister has a friend who was Bulimic at age 12. It’s just terrible.

Kristin, do you get hit on more now or like Clark, they collapse a moment before?

Kristin: Boys were always really afraid of hitting on me. Now they do actually come more, but now I have to be more careful with who I’m talking to, because it’s possible he turns to me just because I’m that girl from TV, or because he just wants something really specific, you know. I have good radar for people, maybe because I usually see what their true intentions are. A lot of times I was told I transfer something threatening, so I guess a lot of guys got that and they don’t dare.

How much are you like Lana?

Kristen: Lana is a good person, who believes in the goodness of people. She’s pure, smart and intelligent, and that of course is a character I admire. I don’t think she’s like me in a lot of ways, but I’d like to believe that deep down I’m as good and honest as she is.
