Laney isn’t built like other people either. I’m just not built that way-the way most people are, I guess. And my sister and I are the same way-it puts us to sleep for like 10 minutes, and then we wake up and we’re like edgy. I tried, you know…what’s the drug that puts you to sleep?
But sativa makes me edgy-I don’t like smoking that. They always say sativa makes you giggly and indica is like really heavy. It makes me nauseous.ĭo you ever get depressed when you smoke? I could never do it before going onstage or like during the daytime. It’s so funny that people think I’m this huge stoner, because I’m open about smoking pot, but I’ll just take, like, one puff before bed, or if I’m at a party, I’ll have a puff. I have to ask, and I’m not implying anything, but do you still smoke pot? Laney, your character in I Smile Back, is an addict. “Lunch is here,” she says, rebounding into a mischievous grin-ready to openly chat about her own anxiety, happiness…anything. “What the fuck am I doing?” she says with ersatz ennui, then notices the food that’s been delivered. When she returns, she has a more workable ’do and gamely sits in a pile of glitter, clad in a Cookie Monster coat. And she nails it.Īfter the photographer decrees that the hair is indeed too much, Silverman is sent back to makeup. But for the first time, we’re seeing the actor go really dark. We’ve seen Silverman take on addiction before in Sarah Polley’s drama Take This Waltz. In the film, which costars The Good Wife’s Josh Charles, Silverman embodies pain with the same strangely irresistible gusto she brings to her usual comedic gigs in a tour de force performance that generated buzz when it premiered at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. But perhaps what’s most shocking about Silverman these days is the 44-year-old’s revelatory turn as a mother spiraling out of control because of addiction in the bleak indie I Smile Back. The comedy titan has made a career of that sort of thing, tackling just about every controversial topic under the sun with a sarcasm-soaked charm. Her hair has been teased into an enormous cloud. After half an hour behind closed doors, Sarah Silverman emerges from the makeup room of a photo studio and is greeted by a chorus of gasps.
