I would want to meet Sidney Poitier. I read about him and seen him in an interview. I think I was born to know a being as human as he. At 33, it's so exciting and refreshing to think about...if he could become who he has become, what would I become myself? At 73, I wanna be like this man...sitting somewhere and think of things independently as they are...

I sometimes wonder how much of a let-down meeting a famous person would be. It's really only fun if they want to meet you too. If you admire them for years and get a snide and cursory smile whilst they scrawl in your autograph book, that's a bit of a bummer. To be honest, I don't feel that there are many famous people who deserve the adulation they receive.
A friend of mine approached Billy Crystal in a cafe some years back in Sydney and asked for his autograph - she'd admired and followed his career for years. He yelled at her and told her to piss off. Now maybe he was having a bad day, or getting divorced, or just found out over dinner one of his best friends had cancer. But my friend really wishes she'd never met him because now she hates his guts lol.

Poitier is cool. I want to meet a director named Breck. Haha!
