With a new movie coming out, a baby on the way, and a wedding to plan, Wedding Crashers actress Isla Fisher is one busy lady. Nonetheless, the Australian beauty who is engaged to Borat comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is as laid-back and genuine as can be. The relatively secretive Fisher opens up in September's issue of Details about past roles, women in comedy, and what it's like living with a loose canon like Cohen. Read on for more!:

On her acting resume:
“I’ve played some pretty wackadoodle people. I really hope that I’m not channeling any subconscious ideas about myself.”

On finding good roles:
“The reality is, for women in comedy, there aren’t many opportunities to be the funny one. There aren’t scripts written. If you want to be challenged and do the work you want, you have to create the material yourself.”

On being with fiance Cohen during the Borat craze:
“Instead of ‘Hey, Honey, did you pick up the dry cleaning?’ it was ‘Did you get beaten up? Are you getting sued? Is there a warrant out for your arrest?’”
