As part of a busy press day schedule (but nowhere close to her personal record, which would be the 96 five-minute one-on-one interviews she did for Grindhouse in a single day, after roundtable interviews), I recently had a chance to chat one-on-one with a dazzlingly made-up Rose McGowan, about portraying strong women, upcoming projects, a personality that hasn’t changed much since childhood, and why her crazily wardrobed and malevolent Conan the Barbarian character is, in her words, “much cooler” than Freddy Krueger. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the fun, quick read.
