I’m Interviewed Today at the Frugal eReader

Hey you guys,

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I just got back from North Carolina late last night. I hope to post some pics soon – hopefully later today, and chat a bit about some great books I finished over the holiday, and write about what all I’m excited to see during Alvin Ailey’s upcoming City Center season, which begins tomorrow night! So excited!

For now, here’s an interview I did over at The Frugal eReader. This is one of my favorites, as Elizabeth, the blogger, asked such excellent questions! And she excerpted one of her (and my :)) favorite passages from Swallow, which you probably haven’t seen if you haven’t read the whole book (since the excerpt is not from a beginning chapter). The Frugal eReader is, by the way, an excellent site to visit if you’re looking for good indie books to try that are available in inexpensive ebook format.

Natalie Portman Black Swan Interview in UK Express

Natalie Portman talks with the UK Express about how much harder her role in Black Swan was than other film roles she’s had.

“’There were a few days when I thought I might die, literally,’” says Natalie. ‘Maybe I’m being dramatic but it was a huge challenge. I’ve worked on projects that are similarly emotional, but to have the physical side at the same time was something. To express feelings with your body, not through words, is tough for any actor.'”

Wow. That’s what dancers are – actors plus elite athletes 🙂
