Ian Then Some...The Articles & Interviews
Star Magazine Continued
Star: Do
you have girlfriends?
I: I'm the only one who does.
Star: Is she an actress?
I: No, not at all. It's perfect that she's not in the business. She's my
saviour. She's amazing. I like the fact that you don't have to deal with the
business side all the time. And she's cool about me kissing other actresses
on-screen. Her name is Sarah Malatesta. It means 'bad head' in Italian.
M: Yeah, Sarah the bruiser!
I: No, she's absolutely wonderful.
Star: How did you two meet?
I: She lived in one of my best friends' buildings and I saw her all the time
and the second I met her, I was just in awe of her - but she wouldn't talk to me
for four months.
Star: Why not?
M: Because she left her laundry in the dryer and he put it on regular and it
was delicate and her panties shrank.
I: No! The reason she never spoke to me was because I wanted to talk to her so
much that I was sort of aggressive in getting to know her. And so she wasn't
interested. She's in college at the moment and the work is really demanding and
she doesn't let new people into her life.
Star: Do you think guys play games in
relationships?
I: I think game-playing is total bullshit. It's a huge LA thing. You need
pure honesty.
M: I think everyone plays games to an certain extent. It's the
Evita
complex. Each lover uses the other lover to get certain positions and status,
money, wealth and power.
R: I think everyone plays games and if I ever found a girl who didn't, I'd be
scared to death of her!
(Everyone cracks up.)
Star: Is it hard to meet decent women in LA?
M: I think so, yeah. Real, honest girls are hard to come by here.
I: If you're not somebody here, you're nobody here.
