Q: Do you have any sense of premonition?  Have you ever had one?

I have pretty good gut instincts.  My mother had extraordinary intuition.  Extraordinary.  I think everyone has it.  I don’t think we are raised to embrace it. I really don’t. I have had things tell me not to do something and then I’ve done it and paid for it and listened. I’ve had dreams going, ‘What does that mean?’  And then the dream, what the essence of what it was happened. And I think that happens to everyone.  Is that intuition, is that premonition, is that coincidence?  I don’t know. But I do know that there are times that I’ve asked for something and I’ve seen it and I look up and go, ‘That’s awesome.’ To me that is beyond my control so I appreciate any help I can get whether it’s the voices in my head or it’s a neighbor, I appreciate it.

Q: I think one thing you get out of this film is that if something is fated to happen, there may be nothing you can do to change it.  Do you have a sense of that?

Yeah, yeah. I don’t know about the word, I think the word is just a hard word to say, ‘Do you believe in fate?’  And then you can argue it and discount it, but I said earlier I can look at my life and look at all the things that have happened and go, ‘Ah, I now see why A,B and C happened and I understand why I had to go through that, because here I sit.’  But I do believe that rebirth and when have things have finished their time. I mean for me to get through life and go, ‘What’s the purpose?’  I go when someone passes away I hope there is a really good reason for it, because it’s there to give birth to something else.  Because of this event hasn’t happened and gone away, this couldn’t have begun. And that is what I loved about this film is that it was bittersweet, that if one thing didn’t happen the next thing that was supposed to begin in this world couldn’t have arrived. Call it fate, call it whatever it is. But I do think we have a good amount of control of what our life can be.  It’s up to us to make our life happy and joyful and what it is supposed to be for us.  Y’know, so I think there is a level of control in that fated end, whatever you want it to be. I can only come from my point-of-view and that was it and that will probably change tomorrow based on what I learn today. 

Q:  Is it true you are learning the tango for your new movie that is coming up?

I’ve been tangoing.  Yeah. But I knew how to salsa, meringue and I knew how to do all that which cockily I went into it going, ‘I could do this.’ It’s totally different from it. It’s totally different from it. It’s been a beautiful thing that I’ve taken on which has been good for life.  Whether that project turns out to be what I want or not, it’s been a good life lesson for me.  The learning’s and the teachings of true Argentinean tango. 

Q: Is it different from?

Oh, this is not this film! Go take a tango class and you’ll want to go home and kill yourself, because you are so inept if you have never taken it.  It is just frustrating, but beautiful when it all comes together. Y’know I have an appreciation for it.  I have tremendous appreciation for it.
