ROSANNA ARQUETTE / CO-STAR, “CRASH”
After filming “Crash,” David Cronenberg’s dark film about high-impact vehicular sex, it’s no wonder that Rosanna Arquette, 37, longed for visits to her favorite fitness center, some nice relaxing tea and a long walk in the hills.
MOVIES: “ ‘Sling Blade’ was the best movie of the year, the most inspirational.”
STRETCHING: “The Yoga Zone in Brentwood is really beautiful and the teachers are great. Yoga’s such an amazing thing to do when you’re stressed out--especially with a 2 1/2-year-old daughter, balancing motherhood and a career.”
SUSTENANCE: “The Newsroom on Robertson--you’ve got to get their drink called the Tokyo--wheatgrass and, like, ginger. Really insane. Makes you incredibly healthy.”
LIBATION: “I like a proper tea. A really great place for tea is Chado, very nice tea room, proper English tea, quiet and lovely, on 3rd between La Cienega and Laurel Canyon.”
STROLLING: “I like going up Runyan Canyon, runs right up the Hollywood Hills. There’s a point up there that looks across all of L.A., which is pretty spectacular, especially at sunset.”
PAGES: “I’m reading Diane Johnson’s ‘Le Divorce.’ It’s spot-on about Americans in Paris.”
TUNES: “I’m into [singer-songwriter] Joseph Arthur who’s on [Peter Gabriel’s] Real World Records. He’s doing the music for ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ the movie I’m shooting now. And I’m into this electronic band the Crystal Method. My husband [John Sidell of Outpost Records] just signed them.”
QUALITY TIME: “My daughter, Zoe, and I spend a lot of time at Tumble Time on Melrose, across from Figaro’s. And then we can run over to the Newsroom for lunch!”
LOSS: “I used to go to Silent Movie all the time, before the owner was killed. It’s so horrible. We put flowers out there.”
