I should start with you…

And after talking with you, I would like to sit down with Bill Gates and Mark Cuban.

I’m already doing interviews and as my blog grows I’m going to build up my interviews too (including you at some point Cath).

It is inspiring Cath to read about others and how they’ve become successful at whatever. I feel motivated when I’m around motivated people.

I want to do more and I want to be better.

Hi Chris - thanks. Bill Gates and Mark Cuban would definitely be interesting people to interview.

Hi Rita - Thank you. I’d definitely like to interview you at some point.

Hi Alex - Thank you - I would be happy to do an interview. I suffered from Someday Syndrome for a long time, so I hope I’ll be a good candidate.

Hi Vered - Thank you that would be great. I have to warn you - it has taken me around three months to do my She-Power interview tho - mostly because I wasn’t keen on the idea of putting my pic on the Internet.

Hi Valerie - It does really help a heap doesn’t it.

Hi Ellen - thank you. I was supposed to link to the interview page, not the front page. I’ve changed it now.

Hi Catherine,

I think Donald Trump would be a great interview, as would Oprah.

Hi Barbara - Great choices. It would be awesome interviewing either one of them.

Hi Cath

Thanks for the link and this is a great collection of links. I’ve already read a few of them and have saved the others. There’s so many people I would like to interview. A few off the top of my head would be:

Angelina Jolie
PINK
Elizabeth Gilbert (author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE)
Keith Richards
Clint Eastwood
Meryl Streep
Madonna
Bono
and some ordinary people who do extraordinary things to make the world a better place.

In theory I’d also love to interview Johnny Depp, but there’s no way I’d be able to talk or function other than to gaze at him like a stunned mullet and say over and over again, “I love you. I really really love you.”

Somehow I don’t think that would be very cool or deliver a very good interview…

Hi Kelly - you’re welcome. You’ve chosen some great folk to interview there. Johnny Depp would be brilliant wouldn’t he? But I guess it would be tough interviewing someone if you were really star struck.

If your novel gets made into a film - maybe you could get Johnny Depp to play the lead - then you’d get to meet him.
Kelly@SHE-POWER on September 8th, 2008 1:58 pm

Believe me Cath, I’ve already fantasized about that…
