A little interview the Sharon Stone did at the Cannes Film Festival.
Well, all I gotta say is that she sure is shooting her way to fame this time!
This is a transcript of what she said:
Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I am not happy about the ways the Chinese were treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like that.
And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine.
And all these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought: IS THAT KARMA? When you are not nice that bad things happen to you.
And then I got a letter, from the Tibetan Foundation that they want to go and be helpful. And that made me cry. And they ask me if I would write a quote about that and I said I would. And it was a big lesson to me, that some times you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who are not nice to you. And that’s a big lesson for me …
There are so many things I could say in response to this statement, but nah. Let's just remember the various disasters, natural and man-made, that have visited so many places and killed so many people all over the world. Some of them not very far from Ms Stoned herself.
Leave the politics out of disaster, just as we should leave politics out of the Olympics (which is also included in Ms Stoned statement...)
