A veteran of over two dozen films, from "Boogie Nights" TO "Bowfinger," Heather Graham is starring IN the new film, “Miss Conception.” She gathered reporters at THE Hilton IN Glendale AND SheKnows is thrilled TO present THE uncut, honest answers an artist gives when sitting a few feet away from reporters discussing their most recent passionate project.
The very British Miss Conception
“We had a coach. He was amazing. Thank God for him. We were really scared.

I think THE producer had a situation where at first THE coach was going TO be on THE set for only THE first two weeks so Mia (Kirschner) AND I thought we need this dialect coach THE whole time. We definitely fought for that. He made us feel relaxed, gave you confidence, I was lucky TO work with such a good coach. He said IN London it’s cool now TO mix IN a little Cockney with your London high class.
I started talking IN the accent all day. When I got THE job, there wasn’t really that much time TO work on it. We’d go TO lunch AND talk, talk, talk, as much as we could. THE script was always written as an English film, THE ways THE people talk are so British. It would not have worked TO have us talk like Americans."
What attracted TO her TO Miss Conception?
“I thought it was funny.
THE idea of this girl getting these random strangers
TO impregnate her, I thought it would
BE fun.
THE scene where I’m yelling at
THE guy
TO get his pants off, I thought that would
BE fun. But, I also had never been
TO Belfast before. It’s really beautiful, all on
THE ocean. That’s where they built
THE Titanic. It’s a really cool, really nice people.

Her fake baby bump and changing attitude toward baby
“It’s kind of scary. Anything
TO do with childbirth is a little scary.
Over
THE last several years, I’ve definitely
BEEN a little excited about
THE idea of having a baby. I was never someone who really wanted one. But recently I sort of have
THE desire
TO think it would
BE fun. I don’t want
TO get desperate about it. I think it’s just something
TO go with, if it’s meant
TO be, it’s meant
TO be. I respect women who really know what they want. I want
TO have this kid, I’m going
TO the sperm bank
AND have this kid. I respect that, that they really want a child
AND follow through on that.
I think it’s cool that there are so many advances
IN science
TO help people have kids. I guess I feel for myself, I’d
BE a much better parent now then when I was 20 (laughs). It’s ironic that at
THE moment we’re probably better at taking care of a person, it’s biologically harder."
Not a tabloid fodder
"I keep my life boring. I have
TO say journalists have bee nreally nice
AND cool Every once
AND a while there will
BE one who will really try
TO piss you off. I being an actor, I’ve learned not
TO take things too personally. Let things roll off you’re back. Not really worth dwelling on, it’s not worth
THE time. You’d drive yourself insane."

Give Heather more comedies!
"I like doing Comedies. I find scary movies, I get so scared. It’s really depressing.
TO go
TO work everyday knowing someone is going
TO kill me, that’s not fun. It’s fun
TO do something that’s silly
AND do something light hearted. There can
BE emotional aspects
TO it. It’s for fun’s sake.
I’m next
IN a movie with Jennifer Coolidge
IN Texas. It’s called “Exterminators.” It’s about these women
IN an anger management group who kill men. (laughs) It’s an angry movie, but it’s a comedy, it’s sort of silly. It’s a dark comedy."
Adding TO movies' messages for women
"I think that there is not a lot of female perspective
IN cinema
AND TV. I think that’s one reason “Sex
AND the City” did so well, is there’s not a lot out there for women that we can relate to. I can relate
TO “Sex
AND the City.” I find a lot of movies that deal with women, I don’t. It’s nice when something is more relatable.
Myself, I kind of have gotten into producing. I want
TO do something that I originated, a story that I wanted
TO tell. I’ve got two scripts. One is about
THE Triangle Factory Fire of 1911. I’ve wanted
TO make that for ten years. It’s this amazing story about how
THE immigrants first arrived
AND worked
IN sweatshops. This building burned down
AND created all these laws that were put
IN place that are still
IN place today. It was what stopped America from having sweat shops. It’s a female empowering movie as well. Through tragedy how great thing happened, which is people are protected
IN the workplace.
And I have another script called “The Accidental Virgin” AND it’s a sex comedy. It’s kind of a crazy, funny, ridiculous fun story. I want it TO be about how women AND self confidence. How IN this society it’s hard TO be a women. It’s a man’s world AND we have TO deal with so many different inputs coming on how we are supposed TO be AND how we have TO find our own self esteem."
