Raven Simone's Interview with Variety

raven-symone.jpgI haven’t heard much about Raven Symone these days and I miss her. She is just hilarious to me! I’ve been watching and loving her work since The Cosby Show.

Variety recently did an excellent interview with her. I think all of you Raven Symone fans will enjoy it:

Book I’m reading:
“Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” by Malcolm Gladwell

Total number of books I own:
Around 150

Three books that mean a lot to me:
“Poems of Passion,” by Ella Wheel Wilcox
“The Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield
“The Power of Intention” by Wayne W. Dyer

What book would you like to see brought to the bigscreen and what book do you hope never gets adapted?
Brought to the big screen: “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho; and the one book that I don’t want would be “Digital Fortress” by Dan Brown

Last film I saw:
”Why Did I Get Married?,” directed by Tyler Perry

Three films that mean a lot to me:
“The Matrix,” “The Matrix Reloaded,” and “The Matrix Revolutions,” all directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Who do you think was the brightest star of the silver screen?
Audrey Hepburn

If you could play any real-life person in a movie, who would it be and why?
Janet Jackson because I love her and I think its time to have her iconic life story told

Who do you look to for inspiration?
I look up to my mother because of how strong she is.

Reading material: Making money books
Web sites: Ones that talk bad about me and RavenSymonePresents.com

What’s the biggest upside of the Internet and what is its biggest downside?
The upside is that you can find and see anything; the downside is that you can find and see anything.

Do you have a dream project?:
My dream project has come true with RavenSymonePresents, a life style show for young women

What helps you get out of bed in the morning?
Knowing that there are so many people that you can touch, and that in the future all I’m left with is what people say about me, and not my material things.

Are there any activities you do to make you feel un-famous?
Pottery

What’s more dangerous: a mountain lion or a bitter ex?
Bitter ex

Would you rather see a Lakers game next to Jack Nicholson or a Knicks game next to Spike Lee?
Jack Nicholson
