I had geplaatst this somewhere else but I don't think anyone got to see it due to new topics. So for those who haven't and (like me) REALLY wanted a translation for this interview. Here ya go! Thanks to my good friend Janick for translating this for me!

"I loved my first kiss with House"
Discreet in the first episodes of the series, Lisa cuddy has today become the other ster of « House ». We met up with Lisa and her interpreter, who are closing the curtains on the shooting of season 5.
Frank Ragaine: In the fifth season, not yet aired in France, u finally exchange your fist kiss with House. Don’t u think it was about time?
Lisa Edelstein: And you?
FR: The viewers will be delighted!
LE: I loved the first kiss scene. The writers imagined a situation where Cuddy and House found themselves in a common distress, and so they where in perfect harmony. She suffers as much as him and so they can kiss since from an emotional stand point they are identical.
FR: In the final episode of the fifth season, it seems like they’ll make love. This will be complicated, no?
LE: I can’t say anything!
FR: The filming of this final episode went on very, very late. This can then only mean a love scene.
LE: (laughs) I can se u coming with your trick question! I can only say that this episode is my favourite with season 4’s final episode. And that it’s quite dark.
FR: How did this new jaar of filming go?
LE: It’s the one that I have most enjoyed myself. The relation between Cuddy and House is meer and meer complex and coloured. And I’m really having as an actress.
FR: In the fifth season, u character decides to adopt a child. How did u prepare yourself for this?
LE: Actually, when u are a 40 years old woman, single, and without any kids, adoption is a normal reflection. For Cuddy there is no hesitation, she wishes to be a mother. And I can reassure u that all of these scenes, which have yet to be aired in France, are quite moving.
FR: And from a personal point of view, adoption, u ever think about it?
LE: I think about it, but have trouble knowing what my position on it is. In our society, when u are a 40 years old woman, there are rules that are almost imposed upon u like being wife and mother. These are presented to u in a way that u are almost obligated to uphold these objectives fixed door society. And for the moment I haven’t accomplished any of this. Conclusion, I still don’t know if I wish to become a mother.
FR: In France we discovered your famous strip-tease this past April 15th. What was your biggest surprise regarding this scene?
LE: That the best part was edited out!
FR: This irritated you?
LE: A little, but not really! It just amusing because it was well choreographed and thought out. I remove my skirt, it falls to the ground, I bring it back up on the end of my foot and throw it in House’s face. But in the end, u will never see it!
FR: And how does Hugh Laurie react during this famous scene?
LE: He’s English so he is really careful. He didn’t want to make me uncomfortable, and yet at the same time, he didn’t want to remove any of my confidence. So he managed to find a good compromise.
FR: House is omnipresent in the series. After all of these years, do u at time have to push him.
LE: It’s true that it is tiring for him. But since we all get along really well after five years, we kind of form a big family, the dynamic that exist between us all and the energy that we bring to each other can be felt. Anyways one thing is for sure, forces respect, he’s incredible!
FR: u will take a few weeks of vacation. Is it easy to travel, seeing the popularity of the series?
LE: It’s less and less easy. But we mustn’t exaggerate. The hardest is for Hugh. And in real life I do not really resemble Cuddy. So I would be astonished if they where to recognise me!
