15. If you could ask Sofia Coppola one question, what would it be?:
"Pop music plays such an important role in your films and often becomes an entity unto itself that directs the narrative. And before you start filming, what inspires you first, a potential scene or a particular song?"
16. If you could ask Marie-Antoinette or Louis XVI one question, who would you pick and what would the question be?: "For Marie-Antoinette, what fictional work, be it a book or a film, best captures your life and personality?"
17. What is your favourite quote from the movie?:
Easy, it makes me crack up every time: "Ever been with Russian? So Bossy!"
18. With what character do you identify the most and why?:
Probably Du Barry, I was raised in an affluent suburban neighborhood and constantly had the pressure to conform to an ideal I would never meet. I still feel that there are others (at work, some "friends") who look down on me for leading a some what unconventional life (in their eyes), but I try to not let it bother me and enjoy my life for what it is.
19. Who is your favorite character and why?:
Oh! So hard...well I love Ambassador Mercy because he is played by Steve Coogan, swoon. But really how can you not love Marie, I'm not even a major fan of Kristen Dunst, but when I watch her in this roll- I'm completely swept away by her gentleness and joie de vivre.
20. If you were in Marie-Antoinette & Louis XVI's position, how do you think you would try to handle the situation (just before the actual start of the Revolution)?: A single person cannot stop a revolution that over threw one of Europe's most solid monarchies, but we could have prevented the some of the bloodshed. Due to the political climate of the time, France needed to have a government that was somewhat of a democracy, not an absolute monarchy. If the ruling classes and clergy relinquished just some of their power, similar to the English constitutional monarchy, they could have retained their status and their heads.
