Considering her zany persona, Heche's presence in Prozac Nation may inspire a chuckle from some...except that she plays a psychiatrist in the film. Based on the best-selling book by Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation is about a young woman (Ricci) who battles severe depression throughout her childhood and on into college.

"I play a psychiatrist in the '80s, which is very different from a psychiatrist in the '90s," says Heche. "It was kind of frustrating for me because in the '80s psychiatry was very different; there was only one antidepressant. We all know now that there are many, many, many. So it was actually really weird to play a period psychiatrist. But I loved working with Christina Ricci. I adore her. It was another interesting role, small role, kind of like John Q."

But embodying her new role as a heterosexual mom-to-be has Heche hoping for more flowery fare in the future. "Right now I'd like to be romantic comedy girl. Sure, give me a romantic comedy, make me make you giggle. I'm into it," the actress confesses. "I don't want anything complicated anymore. I'm always going to love dramas; I'm always going to love interesting parts, but sweet and simple, bring it on."
