"They have to be able to spark my interest so I want to pursue it, and they have to have an awesome personality, really laid-back. All those things are sexy to me"
About this Quote
Then she swivels to personality: “awesome,” “really laid-back.” The phrasing is intentionally casual, almost surfer-simple, which is the point. A high-gloss industry runs on performance - brands, auditions, image management - so “laid-back” reads as code for low-drama authenticity. It’s not that she wants someone inert; she wants someone whose presence lowers the room’s temperature. In celebrity culture, that’s a luxury.
The repetition of “they have to” is doing quiet boundary work. It’s not romantic fatalism; it’s criteria. But the criteria are emotional, not transactional: engagement, ease, and a vibe that makes pursuit feel safe rather than exhausting. “All those things are sexy to me” lands like a corrective to the tired idea that sex appeal is visual proof. Prepon’s subtext: the hottest trait is the one that keeps you from having to act.
