Q&A With…Adam Brody
By Susan L. Hornik
 |
In In the Land of Women, your newly-dumped character finds himself romantically drawn to the woman across the street (Meg Ryan). What do you think the attraction is between the two of you? |
 |
She is a beautiful woman, really intelligent, and he seems to be fascinated with her perfect-on-the-outside suburban life. They seem to have a natural rapport. Another time, another place they would have dated, but due to the circumstances… |
|
|
Your character gets dumped in a not-so-nice way. Have you gone through that personally? |
|
I haven’t been through that in the same way. Any time you end a relationship, though, it’s always a hard thing to get over. People will go through many breakups in their lifetime so I think it’s very relatable. |
|
|
What’s the cure for heartbreak? |
|
I think time, confidence, and meeting someone else never hurts! |
|
|
It seems that talking is the way to a woman’s heart. Do you think that’s true? |
|
I think so! I think that’s a personal thing, but it was certainly true in this film! |
|
|
Meg’s character stays in a marriage that doesn’t work. Why do you think people stay in relationships like that? |
|
I think there are a lot of reasons. On the one hand, who is to say it doesn’t work? Sometimes it’s more complicated. It’s very hard after you’ve been in a relationship for a while, to all of a sudden start Sex and the City—i.e., start dating again. Sometimes relationships are just not a clean break. |
|
|
Your character has that funny line where, in talking to Meg’s character, it appears he isn’t a great listener. Are you a good listener? |
|
I’d like to think so! I imagine everyone fancies themselves a good listener. I don’t know how you know. But I also talk a lot—I don’t know if those two things are mutually exclusive! |
