Are actors better in bed?
No. I don't think so. Not necessarily. 

I love your English accent. It's a cliché, but has it ever gotten you laid?
Yes! I think it helped me with my husband. I think he was a total snob about my accent. I think he was into me for all the wrong reasons, basically. And now he's stuck with me. 

We have a game in the office called, "I'm not gay, but if I were..." Is there a woman you'd cross the line for?
It's very rare that women come on to me. In fact, I don't think it's ever really happened. There was a girl in my year at school who was a lesbian, and she pretty much made a pass at everyone in our year except for me, which I took very personally. Like what was I, chopped liver?

But I was having my hair cut by a woman of the lesbian persuasion recently, and she was giving me very detailed descriptions of a romance she was having with a middle-aged woman, who has never been a lesbian but had four children by different men. And it was so sexy, so for a second I thought, "Oh, that might be fun." 

So the answer to the question is "sexy lesbian hairstylists?"
[laughs] Yeah! Well, I’m into the whole notion of being awakened by some sort of voracious lesbian thing.

Like there’s some brave new lesbian world out there. 
Yes! And also, in America, it seems that all my girlfriends have had lesbian stages. Everybody seems much more open about that kind of thing there. In England we're all so repressed still, so we don’t do that.  

That's funny, seeing as you're all getting wasted and snogging in taxis.
I know! But it just shows that we're so repressed that we have to get drunk in order to do anything. So for a second, while she was talking about being a lesbian, I thought, "Oh yeah, that would be nice." I do have that kind of maybe-I've-missed-out thing. Another thing I feel like I've missed out on is the American teenage years. You know, summers in America. 

Like the American high-school-cheerleader-and-football-player thing? I'm Canadian; I totally relate. We didn't even have a football team at my high school. 
Yeah. I also have this kind of weird crush on Kid Rock. 

Kid Rock?
I keep watching these Kid Rock videos, and I show them to my husband, and I keep saying, "I wish I could have known someone like Kid Rock". 

Emily, I was behind you all the way with the Americana thing, but, really, Kid Rock?
Well, I saw this video of him on a speedboat with all these girls in bikinis surrounding him, and it just looked so exotic to me. To me, that looks so exotic. So now my husband and brother-in-law tease me that all I want is to be dressed in a Confederate-flag bikini.

With a forty in your hand?
Yeah, dancing around in a Kid Rock video. 

I'm very proper and prim, so guys tend to cast me in a friends-only, hands-off mode. How do I get them to make a move on me?
Stop being so prim! You've answered your own question. I guess you've got to let it be known. Basically, my answer for everything is just get drunk. 

I love that. Okay: trim, shave, or wax?
I'm very, very negligent in that area. I'm really not the person to ask. I was in a movie where I was naked [Lovely and Amazing], and people kept saying what a brave move it was. And I thought it was sexy to be sort of natural, and I thought my husband thought it was sexy too, but finally the truth came out: he did not. I suppose he was suffering in silence. To answer your question, I would like to say, "All of the above." But I'm far too lazy to deal with it. 

Last question: I'm in love with my boyfriend, and we plan on getting married in the fall. I think we might be soulmates. How do I get him to try anal sex?
[laughs] Get drunk!
