Selma Blair looks like a tiny pixie with her short spikey do in the pages of the September issue of Dazed and Confused magazine. While we love her look here and in her sexy Gap ad, sometimes we wish we saw more Selma on the big screen. In the article, Selma comes clean about taking more obscure parts and why she admires Angelina. Here are highlights:
On being an actress: “There was a time when I would brush things off and I was so self-deprecating, like, “Oh, it’s such a tiny role no one will pay attention. But now, I’m just grateful to have them and I hope I get more because I’m a character actress. You know… I don’t bleach my teeth, I chain-smoke, I’m flat-chested, I don’t mind being nude, I’m not precious, I’m pale as a ghost, I have crow’s feet, and I believe I can play anybody. So to get to start to do that has been incredible.”
On Angelina: “I was watching Angelina Jolie the other night on TV. Ann Curry was interviewing her. And Jolie has turned out to be such a poised woman. She has really lived so many lifetimes in front of the press. It’s really something. she’s obviously so accomplished. I can’t even bear to watch because she is just too perfect. I hope I can have that kind of poise at some point.”
We love that Selma is so happy and confident with herself these days and recognizes that her quirks make her unique. Like Kate Winslet, it's so refreshing when the stars reveal how down to earth they can be.
More of Selma so just read more

I remember her from Legally Blonde. She has the whole Agyness Deyn hipster look going on.
1I love Selma. She's naturally beautiful.
2I liked her better in the Gap Ad for some reason
3I hate her. No good reason, just do! Has she ever made a good movie?
xoxo
4she's so cool.she has a dont give sh!t aura about her....nice!
5shes awesome.
6ive seen a lot of her movies. even the ones with small roles and shes always good.
Yeah Selma's okay but her idea of Angelina being the "Perfect" woman is a joke. I know people are tired of the "baggin' on Angelina" thing but as long as dumb people look up to dumber people they become fair game in these blogs.
7If I'm not mistaken Selma was in rehab the same time as Britney. I really like her tho. I agree with her having natural beauty.
8I agree with her about Angie.
9Um, am I the only one who's never heard of Dazed and Confused magazine? Why isn't Parker Posey on the cover? Or mitch cramer!
10Angelina, Angelina, Angelina... f*ck off!
11I hated her in Cruel Intentions
12I love the edgy look.
13Shes very tomboyish
14I like her and her cute lil pixie cut but she needs to ditch the gel in these picks.
15I was just thinking about her role in Storytelling, she's quite a cool actress.
I totally thought that Selma was younger than Angelina, but apparently not. Anyway, she's got good taste.
16*LMAO @ carolx15!!!* I agree, girlfriend.
LOVE Selma.
17oh wow shes older thats crazy. she played all these young roles for a long time.
18i don`t like this photoshoot at all
19Oh yeah, me too.
20i think shes gorgeous! her profile is absolutely stunning...shes sort of a classic beauty, although she pulls quirky off quite well
21HOT!
22I'm not hot for her acting at all, but I love that she can rock the short hair.
23She looks good with the short hair. Anyone remember her tv show from the 90s, Zoe, Jack, Duncan, and someone else? Or whatever it was called. lol
24She's very beautiful, but I agree that I haven't seen many of her movies.
25wow she's lookin' good. i like her better with longer hair. but she totally rocks the short hair - and not everyone can.
26She's cute but someone needs to feed her.
27Love Selma.
28love her
29I've never once heard any kind of interview with her and my opinion on her was really neutral until I just read those two little tidbits--now I have decided to like her. lol. I like how she can be straight up about her flaws, totally down to earth...a trait that is really lacking in hollywood. I also totally agree with her about Angelina...dang those perfect ones! lol

31I think she looks too thin in these pics and I'm not diggin the style of the shoot - she looks too severe.
32Mizmode I remember the show...then they changed the name of the show to Zoe later on. Lex Luther from Smallville was Duncan, I think. I have mixed feelings about Selma, I've seen her in a few movies..Hellboy being the last. I wonder if she'll be in the next Hellboy..or did that come out already?
33she looks like a boy
34I like her comments on being an actress. Not the kind of thing most celebs say!
I vaguely remember the TV show...
35her short hair is so adorable.
36she looks killer good!
She's clearly got her OWN style.
37I don't dig her.
38I LOVE SELMA!!! I always have, she is so beautiful.
39I like but she can stop wth the AJ a** kissing, maybe if she picked up a few kids from 3rd world countries, dropped in on a few refugee camps and snatched Brad from AJ she could get the whole poise thing(what poise does AJ have???) but she does have the whole skeleton key look that her idol has.
40that first quote kicks butt!!! that is the greatest quote ever! (maybe
she is my
hero, for all those things that i also share with her only minus the acting abilities haha 
41i've never really been a fan, but i really like that first quote. it changes my mind about her, actually.
yay for pale people!!!!
42how old is she? 32ish?
43for some reason, and this is unusual, i vote 'not hot' on this one.
44I am not a huge fan of this magazine cover but she looked amazing on the Gap Ads!
45Love her! A Dirty Shame was probably her finest moment on the screen. John Waters perfectly directed her in this.
46She is so amazing. I love all of her movies no matter how small the role.
47she is gorgeous, but she cannot act.
48I hate her hair. It's an awful haircut. In my opinion it does not make her look even remotely femanine.
49Thanks, shadesoftrue.
Yea, he was in it. lol I don't think the second one has come
out yet, and I'm not sure if she's in it or not.
