Mischa Interviewed about Style and The OC
Q: Being from London and New York, how did you prepare for life in "The O.C.?"
A:It’s a completely different lifestyle. And it’s not even because their idea of cool is different from a cosmopolitan cool elsewhere. We went down to Newport Beach and met with people there and they’re uber trendy in a completely different way. It kind of blew me away because their culture is so specific to their beach lifestyle.
Q: What’s your relationship to your character, Marissa Cooper? Any major similarities or differences?
A:At this point, we’re so different just because she goes through so much surreal stuff. You start with some similarities but after everything she’s been through, thanks to the world of television, she’s grown and changed into a completely different entity. I love her as a character because I think she’s truly entertaining.
Q: You and Sienna Miller are often referred to as young style icons. How do you define style?
A: It’s all about individuality and having your own mark on things and not being afraid to try new things. Style is also about confidence in your clothing and the way you carry yourself and not feeling self-conscious.
Q: Do you have any style inspirations?
A:I’ve never had style icons, really. I love Cate Blanchett as an actress and as a style icon. But I really like young actresses. Zooey Deschanel has great style for a young girl and is very confident about it. Chloe Sevigny, too. Just because they’re so different. Not everyone would wear what they wear, and I think that’s what’s cool about them. - Wichita Eagle
