Audrina Patridge: The 'L.A. Times' Interview
WENN

The Los Angeles Times yesterday tackled Audrina Patridge's thoughts on "fame, friendship and her celebrity wish."

Shortly thereafter, the Los Angeles area was struck by a 5.4 magnitude earthquake. Draw your own conclusions.

The full interview can be read here, but pertinent passages are quoted below. Without further adieu, let's yield the floor to the Hills' favorite non-blonde bikini enthusiast and bare-breast advocate:

On the biggest public misconception about her: "I don't feel like they show me on 'The Hills' sticking up for myself. They edit that out. I'm generally happy with how I look when it comes out. In real life, though, I'm bubbly and fun and talkative and when you see me on the show I'm always sitting there and sad. But I'm fine with it because it's not my show. I'm there because of Lauren."

On her job with Epic Records: "You know, I don't know my title. I help out with anything. I help out with artists every now and then, making sure they're taken care of."

On her relationship with Lauren Conrad: "Things change and friendships do drift apart sometimes. Lauren and I aren't not friends, we're just not as close as we used to be."

On what she'd change about her fame: "If I want privacy, I wish I could have it. We have paparazzi sit outside the house, and I don't mind if they follow me in Los Angeles, but I wish I could have privacy when I drive out to see my parents and family."

Now you know!

Quotables /
“Audrina Patridge gave a probing interview to the LA Times pre-earthquake, talking about everything from Lauren Conrad to exactly what the f*ck is up with her always staring into the sky and not focusing on people. Ok, she doesn't mention that.

I knew someone like that, he was always looking off to the side. It was in the the 3rd grade and it creeped me out. I would move to the left, and he would focus his eyes further left. Finally, I just ended things.

Audrina says that her and Lauren have definitely patched things up. You can stand back from that precipice now and return to your homes.

"We don't have a lot of the same friends, but we try to reserve one night a week to hang out. In the fourth season, you'll see our fight gets cleared up. Basically, I just start doing my own thing separately from her and Lo [Lauren Bosworth], and I get busy," she explains.

This is really transfixing. Can I go now?”

“The Hills star Audrina Patrdige sat down with the LA Times to talk about her “secret life.” Here’s what the 23-year-old aspiring actress had to say:

Tell us about the first time you got recognized in public? I think it was during the second season. It was a lot of little girls. Some of them cried. I kept telling them, ‘I’m normal, I promise.’ There was also one time when this older woman at a make-up counter just started giving me advice about Justin Bobby and the girls and living in L.A. It was weird, but when people meet me they feel like they know me. I was at the beach just yesterday and this lady from Minnesota sat down and just started talking to me. They just feel very comfortable. It’s very flattering.

What’s the best thing about being a star? The best part is getting opportunities to go to huge awards shows. We got to present at the MTV VMAs last year and you’re surrounded by these amazing artists. It’s just so exciting.

What is your favorite thing to do alone? Go on my laptop and answer e-mails. There’s a lot of them. I like to respond to people who message me on my Myspace. The real me is “Audrina XO,” not all the other Audrinas listed.”
