Madeleine Martin on Censorship & David Duchovny

Maybe David Duchovny finds himself in rehab for sex addiction because he took method acting to the extreme, or maybe Californication's frequent bouts with depravity -- Hank Moody receives oral sex from a nun in the series-opener -- have simply corrupted Duchnovy's mind. What to make, then, of 15-year-old Madeleine Martin's participation in a show where squirting is played for chuckles? I asked the young actress -- currently starring on Broadway in the Tony-winning August: Osage County -- how the show's producers can live with themselves after exposing her innocent little ears to lines like, "You can't snort a line of coke off a woman’s ass and not wonder about her hopes and dreams, it's not gentlemanly." I also asked her how she reacted to her TV dad's much-publicized admission to rehab for sex-addiction.

Do you watch the shows as they air every Sunday?
Well, my parents TiVo them, and I have to fast forward and watch my part.

So you can’t watch the other parts?
Yeah, well, it’s not because of the nudity. I watch Skins, the show on BBC.

So how do you avoid the rest of the show? What about table reads?
I have to listen to my iPod and somebody will tap me when it’s my turn to speak.

Are you at all curious to see what you’re missing out on?
No, at one time I didn’t have my iPod. It wasn’t charged and I had to listen, and it wasn’t very interesting. My friends aren’t allowed to watch it either. Their parents put together clips for them to watch.

What do you usually put on there when you’re listening to your iPod?
I listen to the Donnie Darko soundtrack. I really like that, and I like the Doors.

Were you surprised when all that stuff happened with David recently?
Yes, I was. I was very surprised.

Have you spoken to him since then?
I sent him a text and for once he didn’t reply. I think it’s because they take away your phone in rehab.

What did it say?
I just told him I love you.

Well, I’m sure everything’s going to work out.
Yeah, he has a strong family, and I’m sure they’ll get over it.

Season 2 of Californication premieres this Sunday on Showtime.
