Really? I've never watched it in any interviews I'v read a few transcipts and she seems like a fun character! I need to see the interview, what can I say I'm a big fan!
My fave part of an interview she did with Jay Leno:
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>
Jay: It’s nice to meet you and I must say I was a little surprised. When I saw you in Mr. Jones and talking to you backstage, and then I find out you’re from Sweden but don’t have hardly an accent at all.
Lena: Well I do. I do have a slight accent. But we start studying English when we were like ten at school, so you know, I think only people who are over 90 wouldn’t talk English if you go up to Sweden.
Jay: Have you had any trouble with it. I mean when you came here were there certain words…..
Lena: No, I think you tend to be, if it’s your first language then you can wrap everything up in a nice package, you know. I haven’t the choice to say … Either it stinks or I love it, you know. I can’t put it in a nice package the way you can do. But, now I find it to be a problem that sometimes I pick the wrong word. And that might be embarrassing. And people don’t expect it from me now because they think ‘Oh she speaks so well so she’ll find the right words’ and that can be embarrassing.
Jay: What would be an example, what would you do where you would say the wrong word.
Lena: You know, like when somebody in the crew took me to his house, and his wife is a dancer, and she was retired. You know, the way you retire when you’re in your forties. And so I went to the crew the next day and I said ’Oh it’s so great you know, and so amazing his wife is retarted!’
(
much laughter)
Lena: And, you know, somebody asked me out here ‘Which sign are you?’ And I said ‘Oh I am peaches.’ And, you know, people just look at me. They don’t tell me this is wrong Lena, we don’t have a sign like that!
Jay: Peaches?
Lena: Peaches, yeah. I meant…(turns to Carlin)'What did I mean?'
Carlin: Pisces
Lena: Yeah! Yeah! Exactly!
Jay: Pisces, of course. I like, actually I like peaches! It’s better
Carlin: Much better, much better.
Jay: I would’ve picked that sign for you myself.
Lena: Okay, great. </span>
