What was it like working with Broadway actor - the foxy Josh Hamilton?
Josh was fantastic to work with because he is an actor on Broadway and has done a lot of independent films. He is very different from the character he plays in the film. In the film he plays Todd, or 'Mr. Toad', as everyone calls him, who really doesn't know how to handle the situations he is thrown into in India. Josh has been to India many times to do Vipasana, but he is not your typical hippie either. I, on the other hand, am really not the Vipasana type, but we got on from the minute we met at the audition and it was a joy to work with him.
Define the following and what they mean to you:
Love
I don't fall in love easily, but when I do, it is for keeps.
Lust
Temporary feeling that is more to do with appearance than personality. I don't think I have ever fallen in lust. I have to fall for the entire package, and like I said, that does not happen often.
Envy
Not a feeling I waste a lot of time on. I think envy has more to do with personal insecurity than the object of envy. I am quite a secure person, so am not subject to this feeling.
Passion
Passion is what I live by - in my work, in my life, in everything I do. I cannot engage in something I am not passionate about.
Aggression
I feel aggressive about things to do with politics, which I will not bring up here! Otherwise I am a very chilled out person. Too lazy to be aggressive!
Jealousy
For me jealousy and envy are feelings that go hand in hand - and I am lucky not to have felt either.
What are your New Year's Resolutions in 2009?
To learn how to sail a boat, ride a horse properly, and learn how to cook fish!
