One of my favorite episodes of House was when they had the dream sequence where Lisa Edelstein did the stripping scene in the bus. It was about time that they pushed the envelope on that show. Lisa is on the cover of the French FHM showing that yes she has that stripping thing down.

In the interview, translated into English, Lisa talks about the photo shoot for the magazine, dating guys like Dr. House and what she finds sexy in a man. Here are the highlights:

On posing for the sexy pictures in the magazine: I loved it! I enjoy photo shoots. You get to work with people whom only think about making you beautiful, it’s nice! I felt so free…

On being over 40 and still being considered sexy: It’s great! I had never thought of myself as sexy until I reached forty. Actually, when you reach forty everything starts making sense. Every piece of the puzzle finds their place, every information about yourself, your body, your life…Fulfilling oneself as a woman. There’s no true secret of beauty. As long as you take care of yourself, you feel beautiful.

On the similarities between her and Dr. Cuddy: She’s clever and funny, she likes clothes, she does her job well, she knows what she wants and how to get to it and she really has bad taste in men! Cuddy and I, we both fall for the very intelligent jerk kind of guy

On ever falling in love with a guy like Dr. House: Yes…And I won’t say more!

On what she finds sexy in a man: His brain. I find that the way a man thinks is more sexy than his looks. I am a visual, I am attracted to physical appearance. But if there isn’t a brain, it’s not worth it.

On what other shows she watches: Lost, Mad Men and Big Love. Those are my favorites. I try to watch an episode of House from time to time, just to see how the story is told and to assess my performance. But I can’t watch myself on screen for too long. It’s weir and you always end up self-criticizing.

I wish that Cuddy and House would fight more often. They are so cute together!
