TU: Oh man, it's amazing. I can't even believe I'm here to talk about it. I mean Elaine May is one of my heroes. She's extraordinary. The pair of them together, Woody and Elaine, had more scenes together than I had with Elaind - they're quiet when they're together though. They're like the New York classics.
THC: You have a fashion website, www.purpleskirt.com. What's up with that?
TU: It's a business venture! The office I work out of has become very internet savvy - and we sent one of our boys to the crash courses at the Holiday Inn in Glendale for the weekend. And my husband started a television distribution venture on the Web and so we had all the technology in the office. So when I did Woody's film and took a year off HBO, a girl in my office came in and suggested, "Why don't we start selling clothes on the web?" Because I'm totally into clothes and I know so many people and my friend has two Fred Segal stores in Los Angeles. I looked on the web and there's tons of cosmetic sites but there's no eclectic clothes sites. There's just Land's End, J Crew, GAP, but you know what you're going to get. We've taken younger designers and created this great mix - even in sizes 16, 18, because everyone can't be an Italian model. And I love fashion but I hate it when people are like I have to wear that because the magazine says so - everyone ends up looking the same! It's like these homemaking shows - everyone looks like they have a bloody house in Connecticut. Where's the individuality??
THC: Last question, Tracy. Did you sample any of those cookies that you make for the company in the film?
TU: Ugggghhh, nooo! [squeals, groans] I don't eat shit like that! I'm an organic person. I'm always like, "Is there anything organic around here?" Woody's making it with the cracker jacks - he looks so sweet eating apple jacks in those stone washed denim shorts. Don't you just want to make a beanie baby out of the guy?
