INTERESTS: Wow! That's a toughie! Gee, let me think . . . FILM! Everything about that perfect medium and everyone involved - Director's, Producers, Writers, Actors, Editor's, DOP's, Gaffer's, Sound Engineers's, Best Boy's, Dolly Grip's, I LOVE YOU ALL! I also love hanging out with my friends, those people who pretend to be my friends and those people who are in no way my friends but circumstance forces us to be together (people on the bus, co-workers, members of the family etc). Love to read and write. A good red, a regular milkshake and . . . wait, we've done this.
I'D LIKE TO MEET: Wow. that's a toughie (see what I'm doing here? get used to it). Let's see;
Stanley Kubrick for sure - That man was the BOMB! I want to be him . . . I should grow a beard.
Steven Speilberg - When I saw Munich, it was so good I peed a little.
Audrey Tautou because she rocks my tiny little socks and Audrey Hepburn because of the same reason. ALL AUDREYS!!!
Nicole Kidman - Ah Nicole, I love you so much I named my car after you!
The entire Brady Bunch (except Alice; she was never a Brady - she was an idiot), but back when they were cute, young and innocent, not the drug-fuelled, sex addicted nymphomites they are now.
Ewan McGregor - ask him what it was like to work with Nicole Kidman (something I want to do one day).
Baz Lurhmann - ask him what it was like to work with Nicole Kidman (something I want to do one day).
Antonia Kidman - ask her what it's like to be sisters with Nicole Kidman (something I want to do one day).
J.R.R. Tolkien - not to talk about Lord of the Rings but to ask what the J.R.R stands for . . . just kidding, I know . . . (shifty eyes).
Everyone who has made a movie - Welles, Ford, Hughes, Selznick, Zanuck, Thalburg, von Sternburg, Vidor, Capra, von Stroheim, Chaplin, Jackson, Sturges, Sol Wurtzel, Wilder I LOVE YOU ALL!
