[Photo: Kevin Westenberg]TV Squad's Joel Keller got a chance to chat on the phone with Lisa Loeb about dating, food, television, omelets, and why "What's it like to be Lisa Loeb?" is not a good question to ask Lisa Loeb.
Here's a quick excerpt to whet your appetite:
JK: Where do you feel the most anonymous, because you do have a distinctive look, Lisa, you've got your glasses... Where can you walk down the street and people aren't stopping you?
LL: It's pretty similar all the way around. Sometimes in Dallas, I don't know if people recognize me, because I've lived in Dallas growing up; I know a lot of people there, I have a big family and we all have a lot of friends, so people stop me because they went to my bat mitzvah. I know them, they're friends or they're friends with my aunt or uncle or whoever it is.
In LA, people... people are always trying to see who's walking in the door, but there are a lot of different people who are on TV live in LA, so I get recognized but it's not a huge deal.
And in New York, I can see people turning their heads, but again, it's New York, so you feel more anonymous there, because people are... I don't know, they're just normal and straightforward in New York, so right now it's just kind of like being in a party all the time, where people you know might come up and say hello. It's not a problem. It's OK.
It's an interesting interview, both because Lisa Loeb is an interesting person and because she keeps turning the interview around and asking Joel all sorts of questions. Make sure you Stay [sorry, couldn't resist] tuned for the next installment of the interview on Friday.
