Screencrave has done a print interview with Talulah, where she talks about auditioning, awkward bedroom scenes in Pirate Radio, and how she’s scared of flying! The article also mentions that the film is actually coming out November 6th as opposed to the 13th. . . no word on the possible official change yet though:

What has been the most interesting auditioning experience you have had thus far?

TR: Oh gosh, I actually did something terrible. I was still a bit scared, but I used to be terrified of flying. Terrified. I had to fly back to come to an audition on my own, it was a call for something, and I was so scared on the plane that I took all four diazepam that I had with me. I was still so frightened that I kept passing in and out of consciousness. The guy sitting next to me told the air stewardess that I had done this, so she took me to the front of the plane and sat with me. Then as soon as we were on the ground, I just collapsed and fell asleep. I still went to my audition, and I can’t remember it very well. I was very sleepy all the way through. I think I really embarrassed myself. I think I bowed to the director.

Did you get the part?

TR: No. [laughs] It was that terrible. It was a learning experience. Don’t go to an audition straight after getting off a plane, and don’t take four diazepam on the way. I took one and it had no effect, so I was like, “They aren’t working!” I was really frightened.

Are you often recognized by fans?

TR: Mostly by 12-year-old girls because of St. Trinian’s [laughs]. And 45-year-old men [laughs]. Those are the two demographics.

What have you found when you watch yourself? Do you enjoy it?

TR: Well I always look quite different in everything I do, which is nice because it never looks like me in the costumes. The first time I see something, that I am in, it is difficult, because you are looking for the bits that you are in going, “Ahh! Did I do anything horrendous?” But then the next time you watch it, you can watch it as a film, which is nice. It was funny because the first time I was watching this, I wasn’t really bothered about it. I was just like, “It is lovely!”

Besides the recent posts mentioning Video Interviews for Pirate Radio from WSBTV and National Lampoon, there are a couple more popping up that seem to be from the same press session:

I’ve also found a video from the Tesla Sports Launch in London from this summer:
