Lauren: I think the problem is sex and female sexuality. We're still not used to having control over our own sexual appetite, our own needs. People are uncomfortable talking about sex in general. I mean, more parents are more comfortable showing their kids brutal violence like the stuff in Sin City than they are talking about, or showing sex. I think that's totally wrong.

Lauren: The only place I really get recognized is at Ralphs. Whenever I'm in L.A., I go to Ralphs and for some reason, everyone there recognizes me. They're huge L Word fans.
