In this week’s Page Six Magazine – Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who spent a long time giving in to the demands of her husband, her handlers and her anorexia, reveals how now, at 27, the Sopranos actress is single and living it up all on her own.
On dating:
“I’ve always been a serial monogamist. I’m not a good dater. It takes a lot for me to even want to kiss someone. I can’t just go out and make out with people. I have to have a connection, and those are rare for me.”
On being pictured and linked in gossip columns with Entourage’s Jerry Ferrara:
“[Jerry] is a very special person, and I’ll leave it there.”
On her failed 2003 marriage to A.J. DiScala:
“I didn’t know who I was. I was living in an idealistic dream world—like, ‘I have a successful show and this handsome man, and I’m 22 and I’m getting married and may have a baby next year!’ I was trying to be numb to any reality or any real feelings I had about it. Now, I see that I was in a cloud for all those years. I don’t regret it. But, man, am I glad we didn’t have children.”
On her battle with anorexia:
“I was a perfectionist, and things didn’t feel like they were all under my control. I started getting hips and my body was changing. My first boyfriend broke up with me. This was my way of making sense of the world. People look at [anorexia] as a vain thing, but it’s an addiction. It sent me into a depression for a long time.”
On living like any other girl in their post-college early twenties (despite the fact she is 27):
“I’m having a second twenties. It’s a little like a do-over, but I never did [these things] in the first place. In my early twenties, with all of the people I had in my life, I was often misguided and misled. I was told what I needed to be in every given moment – what I should and shouldn’t say. It was such a weird thing when I was 21 or 22 and just getting into the world. I think I deserve to form my own life now.”
