QUESTIONS from Katy

1. Fictional location you'd love to visit or live in?

This one is a given, it's Middle Earth aka New Zealand. I wouldn't live there but I have wanted to visit NZ for years. Probably since some of my family moved there in the early 90s. I have wanted to see Middle Earth for so long it feels like a never ending dream. One day I will go there. 

2. A character you'd love to have on speed dial/text to get advice when you need encouragement or help?

I am very tempted to say Liz Lemon just because I love Liz Lemon. She's probably not the best person to give advice for certain things but she's great and her hidden advice is always the best.

3. If you could save any character (movie/book/TV) from dying, would save someone? If so, who?

I think Jack could have survived at the end of Titanic so I would save him. Just think about the life he and Rose could have had together.

4. If you were a superhero, what superpower would you have?

I've thought about this and depending on different franchises I could be involved with the power would change. Mind control would be great but recently, in the wake of the Inhumans, I would choose reanimation combined with being able to cure anything with the touch of a hand as well cause pain to others. I have a character all set u in my mind already.

5. Is 42 the answer to life, the universe and everything?

It would be easier to say yes but I think there is no answer which is terrifying.

6. Describe yourself in 3 words.

Strange, unusual human

7. An actor/actresses films you always see/watch?

This is difficult as there are quite a few. Let's go with Tina Fey as I am pretty much obsessed with her. Which reminds me, I need to see Whisky Tango Foxtrot.

8. What famous person would you like to see get a biopic?

As biopics can be hit and miss, I'm not sure if I want another biopic out there. There are some people who just do not need one. I think I'd like to see a biopic of Clara Bow or Lillian Gish or Louise Brooks but instead of one person playing them, I'd like to see it like I'm Not There style, several actors portraying the same person. And it to be in black and white and tun into colour as the film ends. That's what I'd like to see, something different.

9. Favourite film to watch on a rainy day?

I don't actually have one! I have films to watch when I'm under the weather and films I watch when I'm down and films I watch to get pumped up, but rainy day its usually anything. But for this, I'll go with old faithfully, Rear Window, Hitchcock classic.

10. An actor/actress you'd love to see win an Oscar some day?

Joaquin Phoenix comes to mind but he should have won it for Walk the Link. Does it count that I'd back in time and hand him an extra Oscar that year?

11. A goal you want to achieve this year?

I made a few goals this year, luckily, I have achieved 2 so far. I would like to make a film and finish a story I have been working on. I know that's two, but even if I do one, I'll be happy.
