Todd:
So, Shona, you are quite fit. You like to run. Do you like to do anything
else?
Shona:
Yeah, actually. I like quite a lot of different sports. I like to play tennis.
That is something that I like to participate in with someone else, but also
I'm into more solitary sports, like I like doing yoga in the mornings. I like
to do a bit of Yoga. I also like to use the gym and I also like to climb, wallclimb, or sometimes I've odd **** climbing. It has to be with walls.
Todd:
Cool, so actually let's talk about climbing. You climb at the gym?
Shona:
No, my gym doesn't have a climbing wall, but there's somewhere in the city
I'm from that has like a huge climbing center and you can go there and
there's like all different types of walls, different abilities, and there's also a
big rotating wall as well for when you are really good, and you can use that
one and like climb up there.

Do you ever actually take this out and practice on real rocks?

really into climbing so I went out a few climbs with him, like as an
introduction and that was pretty amazing. Like, it was completely different
than climbing outdoors from it is from like inside. Like wall climbing is
probably a bit easier than actually outside because, you noticed you've got
more to sort of hold on to and stuff because it's built for climbing but the
natural environment is harder to climb because like there's not as many
cracks and stuff and you've got to spend longer to try and find them and
they're not as obvious, but it's probably more enjoyable to do it outside than
it is inside.
Todd:
Right, so when you climb outside do you have a lot of fear that you're going
to fall?
Shona:
Not really. I guess it depends on who you are climbing with. Like if you are
with someone that you completely trust, then that's really important but I
guess if you're with like a stranger you didn't know that well then you
might be a little bit worried about like dropping or whatever, but I'd say I'm
probably more fearful of dropping indoors because it's just myself than I
would be outdoors cause I'd be with someone else.
Todd:
Oh, wow, that's interesting. Actually, I heard that in rock climbing it's quite
unique in that actually women are better... are naturally better rock climbers
than men because they have smaller fingers and they're lighter. Is that true?
Shona:
I've heard that was well. Yeah. I've heard that women are a bit better at rock
climbing. I don't really know how true it is, cause like most of the really
good climbers I've met are male, but yeah, I guess it's like naturally they're
built more for climbing, like it is a bit easier just cause of the woman's body
in comparison to a man.
Todd:
Right. Yeah, it seems to make perfect sense. And just lastly, when was the
last time you went rock climbing?
Shona:
It was probably about three or four months ago and it was.. Well, actually,
the last time I was climbing outdoors was probably about six months ago,
but yeah, indoors, it was a bit sooner than that.
Todd:
So rock climbing is something you'd recommend for everybody?
Shona:
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I think it's like so challenging that you can get so
much out of it because you progress. You get stronger so quickly. Like you
really notice a change in your muscles and everything and it's like, it's just
such a great feeling to reach the top. You know that's the most exciting part,
when you reach where you're trying to go and you just like, you feel like
you've really accomplished something. I think it's really fun.
Todd:
Well, you make it sound really fun. I want to give it a try.
Shona:
Yeah, you should do.

10 Questions for Viggo Mortensen
By Viggo Mortensen Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008
You're famous for your multilingual talents. Which language are
you most comfortable with? A. Patrick Watts MARYVILLE,
TENN.
I was raised speaking English and Spanish. And I also speak Danish. And I can get
by in French and Italian. I've acted in Spanish and English, but when something has
to do with emotions, sometimes I feel I can get to the heart of the matter better in
Spanish.
You once said that people should embrace their heritage. What advice would you
give to someone born during Nazi-era Germany? Ruth Savoia, LADY LAKE, FLA.
Germans are people too! [Laughs.] I don't remember saying that you should embrace
your heritage. I'm not saying that's not true, though. It's a good thing. [Your
heritage] is part of who you are.
You've explored poetry, painting, photography and music in addition to acting.
Which is your favorite? Arielle Davis, NEW YORK CITY
I don't really separate them. To be an artist, you don't have to compose music or
paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living. It has to do with
paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back,
participating in life.
You founded a publishing house for artists who aren't able to publish their works in
more traditional venues. Why? Ruth Tam, CHICAGO
It's a way of exploring. In a way, editing is not unlike the movies. The best books,
just like the best movies, are a collaboration. They're only as good as the compromise
made between the artists involved. I get a real satisfaction from seeing something
work as a book.
Many of your films deal with a significant amount of brutality. What's it like to
explore violent characters? Frank Pennisi, BAYSIDE, N.Y.
A lot of time the violence expressed onscreen is a metaphor for what's going on
inside. I take it seriously, and I respect directors who depict it responsibly. There are
a lot of directors who make too much of a joke about it. That lets the audience off
the hook.
Would you consider directing? Jeroen Ten Berge WELLINGTON, NEW
ZEALAND
I've thought about it a few times. It's a pretty complete world, making movies. It's
painting, it's design, it's fashion, it's history, it's philosophy, it's literature, it's
photography. It involves so many different ways of expressing yourself.

Some people follow you around the world, attending your exhibitions or screenings.
Is that kind of attention flattering or unnerving? Wiecha Lach KRAKOW,
POLAND
Both. I'm flattered when there are people from Germany or Japan who will show up
when I have a photo exhibition in Iceland. Every once in a while, though, there'll be
a person who steps over the line, where they assume that I'm only speaking to them.
I worry about them. And sometimes I worry about myself.
In your early 20s, would you have been able to handle the amount of fame you have
now? Janice Gherardi NEWBURGH, N.Y.
If I had had a lot of attention early on, I would have gotten tired of the whole circus.
I think I would have gotten disenchanted and probably quit.
You kept the horses from Hidalgo and Lord of the Rings. Were you into horses
before, or did those films incite a passion? Tom Lanham, SAN FRANCISCO
I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm
careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly
interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.
You seem to take serious, dark roles. Have you ever been offered a comedy? Rebecca
Richardson BAR HARBOR, MAINE
No. People get used to seeing you do what you've done that's been successful. There's
a certain rhythm, a certain timing to comedy, and I envy those who are really good
at it. I'd be scared to try an out-and-out comedy. But why not? A little bit of fear is
always good.
