PLAYBOY:
Do the guys say what they want to do to other women in front of you?
Catherine Bell:
Yeah, a little bit. Some guys, if they're just total pigs, need to take it easy there. Down, boy. But if they're appreciating women, you know, I can understand you'd want to do certain things.

PLAYBOY:
You play drums. Who is your favorite drummer?
Catherine Bell:
Since I'm a new drummer, I just started listening to everybody: John Bonham, Neil Peart. I've got all the Led Zeppelin and Who CDs in my trailer. I'm trying to listen to the old greats. And then there are some of the new guys like Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins. I love jazz drumming. It's beautiful. Again, I'm new. I never used to pick out the drumbeat by itself. Now I'm actually listening to the drumbeat.

PLAYBOY:
Do you have wacky nights with your close friend Jenna Elfman?
Catherine Bell:
Like when we get naked and roll around in hot oil? I'm sure your readers would like to hear about that, but I'll never tell! Jenna is really fun. We were just in the Caribbean with a bunch of our friends. She has so much energy. I think she's amazing. We met in our acting class. We're both Scientologists, but we were in the same acting class, too. I knew her husband better than her because her husband and I were in the same class. She was in a different class at the same place. She's so talented. She's funny, silly and fast. A lot of fun to go out with.

Have you guys gotten into any trouble?

No, not yet. Good idea, though.
Q

PLAYBOY:
There are websites featuring photos of your body-double work for Isabella Rossellini in Death Becomes Her. In an article you said there is worse stuff out there. Where can we find it?
Catherine Bell:
There's some soft-core I used to do. No. There was a rumor about that on the set once. I did a love scene in a cable movie that wasn't a big deal. Kind of a Red Shoe Diaries sort of thing. I was almost topless on Dream On. So that's about it. Nothing too embarrassing.
Q

PLAYBOY:
Why is the company of men more interesting than that of women?
Catherine Bell:
I think because I was an only child and a tomboy. Women can be tough on women. I used to be really shy and a lot of women thought I was stuck up. I had to be nice and be a regular person and let them know I wasn't there to steal their boyfriends. Women can be so insecure. Let's just be girls. Now I have some female friends, but I'm still more comfortable with men. I have more male friends than I do women. I'm more of a guy. Let's have a beer and just have fun.

PLAYBOY:
Your belly is pierced. What are the limits of good taste in piercings?
Catherine Bell:
For me, it's my belly button. That's it. At some point, it gets into self-mutilation and some weird psychological aberration.
Q

PLAYBOY:
What can be expressed in a tattoo that can't be expressed verbally?
Catherine Bell:
I've got one here [pointing to ankle]. It's a heart and it says love. I could certainly say "love." But it's just a creative way of expressing myself. Tattoos represent something about yourself, but nothing you couldn't express verbally.
