Audrina Patridge: ''Sometimes We Don't Agree With Producers.. But We Just Do It."
The Hills hottie Audrina Patridge, 22, chatted with Teen magazine about dealing with TV producers, her life-changing experience and the future of her aspiring career as model and actor.Are you ever surprised by what the producers choose to focus on?
"Yeah, sometimes what we want them to focus on is not always what they want to. They have something else in mind. When I moved into my room, I had this huge box of shoes and I was like, "Agh, I need to put these away. I need to put them on my shoe rack." I was getting ready to put them away and they were like..
..No, leave 'em, leave 'em! We want to watch you dumping them out and
putting them away as part of moving in." I didn't want to just leave
the box sitting there. So stuff like that, they come up with ideas for
what they want and you might not necessarily agree, but you just do it."
Were you nervous when they approached you to do the show?
"I was lying out by the pool and I talked to the producer, Adam, and he said they were doing this show. I was like, 'Wait, is it one of those dating shows? Because I'm not into that!' So when we first started I met Heidi by the pool and I was nervous. I wasn't used to cameras everywhere. And you're in a bikini walking around with all of these cameras on you. First season it took me a while to get used to it, but now I don't even care anymore. And it's also like a second family with all of the camera guys and the crew."
How has your life changed since the first season aired?
"I think I've definitely matured more because it makes you grow up faster. You're dealing with producers and directors all of a sudden. You're trying not to mess up and be a good role model for your fans and do the right thing. But besides that, just getting recognized all of the time and getting a lot more opportunities, whether it is modeling or videos. Little things like that."
Are you still working on modeling and acting?
"I am, kind of, but once I started working on The Hills I kind of stopped doing that and I just did The Hills and worked. Filming takes up a lot of your time and for anything else you want to do, I got a couple of opportunities photo-shoot-wise that are coming up, and my agent had to clear it with production and fit it in. So it's really hard. It's not as easy as it was when I could be like, 'Yeah, I can do it. Tell me when I need to be there!'"
