Cover Girl: Kirsten Dunst on W Magazine

Kirsten Dunst appears on the cover of W Magazine this month. The feature on the inside of the magazine is full of great snippets from Dunst. Here's an excerpt:

When Kirsten Dunst decides to get a little silly—something she is wont to do—she contorts her voice. The vocal equivalent of scrunching up her nose like a little bunny, it sounds as far away as possible from her regal Marie Antoinette or her fickle-in-love Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man films. It's nasal, tuneful, high-pitched and distinctly Muppet-like.

"SkyMall!" she announces with a singsong intonation that's a cross between Kermit the Frog and the Swedish Chef. We're in a conversation lull, listening to some of Dunst's favorite tunes by Arcade Fire, Kate Bush and a group of singing kittens called the Jingle Cats (they mew holiday songs), when out of nowhere, the 24-year-old moppet-haired former child star reaches over to the desk in her New York hotel room for a copy of the friendly skies' favorite shopping magazine. She immediately shrugs off my disbelieving expression.

"Are you kidding me?" Dunst asks, having none of it. "It's hilarious, and there are the most genius gifts in here." She flips to a folded-over page. "Like popcorn machines." She points to a huge, fire-engine red, antique-looking popcorn maker with wheels, the kind you'd find on Main Street in Disney World: "Oh, come on. Like you wouldn't want that in your house?"
