INTERVIEW WITH HEATHER HUNTER

INTERVIEW WITH HEATHER HUNTER

KINGSMEN: HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO PUT THIS BOOK TOGETHER? AND HOW MUCH OF THE BOOK IS TRUE COMPARED TO YOUR LIFE STORY?
HEATHER HUNTER: WELL I’VE BEEN ACTUALLY WRITING THE BOOK, WELL IT STARTED OFF WITH ME ACTUALLY WRITING MEMOIRS, ITS BEEN OVER 10 YEARS. AND IN 2002 I DECIDED TO PUT ALL MY EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE AND FICTIONALIZE EVERYTHING. THE TIMELINE OF THE BOOK I CAN TRULY SAY IS MY LIFE. THE BOOK IS SUCH A PUZZLE NOT ONLY HER CHARACTER, BUT A FEW OF THE CHARACTERS I PUT MY EXPIERENCES IN. SO TO ME IT’S A GREAT FUN READ. LIKE UNPUZZLING A CODE. BUT I CAN TRULY SAY 50 PERCENT IS TRUE AND THE REST IS FANTASY THAT’S THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT FICTION. YOU GET TO USE YOUR IMAGINATION AND STIMULATE PEOPLE.
K: LETS GET INTO THE MUSIC SIDE OF THINGS, IS THERE ANYONE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH THAT YOU HAVENT YET?
HH: FAR AS MUSIC, LIKE RIGHT NOW I WOULD LOVE TO AND LOOKING FORWARD TO PUTTING OUT NEW MUSIC NEXT YEAR BECAUSE IVE BEEN DOING SO MUCH WITH THE BOOK. RIGHT NOW IM WORKING WITH KWAME IN THE STUDIO. I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH TIMBALAND AGAIN. I’VE WORKED WITH DJ PREMIER. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO WORK WITH PUFFY ONE DAY.
K: AS FAR AS YOUR ACTING CAREER WHO WOULD BE SOMEONE YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH?
HH: RIGHT NOW.WOW. I JUST HAD A GREAT TIME DOING THE AMERICAN GANGSTA MOVIE WITH DENZEL WASHINGTON. THAT WAS A REAL BIG HIGHLIGHT FOR ME. AND IF ITS ANYBODY ELSE I CAN TRULY SAY I WOULD LOVE TO BE IN A MOVIE WITH AL PACINO AND ROBERT DINERO.
K: HOW WAS THAT EXPIERINCE WORKING ON THE SET WITH DENZEL?
HH: THIS WAS MY SECOND MOVIE WITH DENZEL. WE DID THE “HE GOT GAME” WITH SPIKE LEE BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE SET WITH HIM AND JUST TO WORK WITH A PROMINENT ACTOR LIKE HIMSELF THERES NOBODY BETTER TO WORK WITH. IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND IM GLAD I WS THERE.
K: RIGHT NOW WHATS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR CAREER?
HH: RIGHT NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART WOULD BE MY WRITING. IM WORKING ON MY SECOND BOOK AND I SHOULD HAVE THAT OUT NEXT YEAR. ANOTHER THING WOULD BE GOING BEHIND THE SCENES WITH SOME NEW PROJECTS THAT I CANT REALLY TALK ABOUT BUT ITS FOR T.V. AND FILM. IM DOING MORE PRODUCING AND I JUST WANNA KNOW ALL AND BE APART OF ALL AREAS OF MY CAREER. I FEEL ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO OWN YOUR OWN PRODUCT
