If you are allowed 1 hour each for any famous people alive to have a personal chat with, who you would choose?
1. Roberto Benigni (Italian actor/director known for "Life is Beautiful" and "Pinocchio")
What is this immense charm behind this seemingly pathetic looking little man? I would love to hear about stories behind his latest work "the tiger and the snow", about an Italian Poet stuck in Iraq during a war time...
2. Michael Palin, my fav Monty Python member
And what stories he must have got to tell after all these travelling around the globe!!
3. Jimmy Buffett
The guy who wrote so many songs that echoed my heart, the guy who reminds me so much of my dad...
4. Kofi Annan, Secretary General of United Nations
He's got one of the most difficult jobs in the world in this difficult time and he manages to keep himself above...what would be his ideal?
5. Alex Zanardi
Has been a very successful Formula One/Cart racer. He has returned to the race scene after a horrible accident in 2001 in which he lost both of his legs... he is a testimony of sheer courage, determination and rising above adversities...
6. Chris Martin (Frontman of Coldplay)
The next Bono of the new generation, both with the on-stage charisma and being an ambassador of goodwill offstage... what are his inspirations?
7. Donald Westlake
The amazingly hilarious author or crime novels who wrote the brilliant Dortmunder series... How does he get all these crazy ideas??
8. Jamie Oliver
Yeah, not just talking I would love to have a cooking session with him!!
9. Valentino Rossi (Current MotoGP Champion)
He has accomplished so much at such young age... what are his aspirations and new challenges at this point?
10. Alexei Mishin, one of the best figure skating coaches around
He brought up some of the greatest, uniquest talents, and has keen eyes for spotting an extraordinary young up & comers... and what a wise, sweet man!! There are just too many things I would like to ask him...
Then... an honorary mention goes to Mattie Stepanek, if only he was still alive... he was such a gem of a human being, the world lost an extraordinary, precious treasure when he left this world last year... rest in peace Mattie, you and your heart songs will always have a special place in my heart!!
