AN INTERVIEW WITH CONCHITA CAMPBELL
An Interview with Conchita Campbell
I wrote to Conchita Campbell, and she very nicely agreed to an e-mail interview. Conchita, who will be nine this month, portrays eight-year-old Maia Rutledge, and replied with a little help from her mom, Magda. A big thank you to both of them! :)
Karen@SolitaryPhoenix:
I know from the site that you were born on October 25, 1995 in Vancouver, BC, in
Canada. Have you been to the States a lot? Do you find the two countries to be
very different?
Conchita Campbell:
I have been to the States a few times and I had a great time. Everybody I met
was very nice. I think that Canada and the States are very similar but food was
a bit different in Texas.
Karen:
You've actually been to several countries; do you have any particular memories
or stories to share about your travels?
Conchita:
Oh yes!
Traveling by train is so much fun in Europe. I also remember how old and
beautiful the buildings are. My favorites were churches and castles. Everything
looks so strong. But I have one special memory about this cute little pink house
close to my grandparents' cottage. Every time I biked by this house with my mom
I could not take my eyes of it because it looked like it was from a storybook.
One time I even rode straight into a telephone post but I was OK.
Karen:
On your site,
you're called "The Banana Kid" a few times; what does that refer to?
Conchita:
I am a very
active kid and I love to monkey around. I even have a very special bed that my
dad build for me so I can do all the climbing I want. Also I love bananas like
all the monkeys do so my parents have few nick names for me and Banana Kid is
one of them.
Karen:
I guess I
should ask the obligatory 'favorites' questions. :) What is your favorite
television show? Movie? Actor? Actress? Book? What music do you like to
listen to?
Conchita:
My favorite TV
show of course is
The 4400.
I also like
American
and
Canadian Idols
and Bernstein Bears.
My favorite movies are "Heidi" and "The Little Rascals", favorite actress is
Drew Barrymore, favorite actor is Eddie Murphy, and my favorite book is "Anne of
Green Gables." I like to listen to fun music and when I want to relax I like
classical music a lot.
Karen:
You're a
talented dancer; do you have a particular style that you enjoy the most?
Conchita:
I dance a lot.
I take ballet, modern, jazz and acrobatics but I have to say that I am a jazz
girl.
Karen:
You speak
Polish and you've traveled there; is one of your parents from Poland?
Conchita:
Yes, my mom is
Polish.
Karen:
How is your
schooling handled while you're working? I would imagine you'd have tutors; do
you have the same tutors, or different ones?
Conchita:
I love school
and my homework is always a fun thing to do. When I am on set for many days then
I have a tutor, and so far I have had the same one.
Karen:
I very much
enjoyed your scenes with Peter Coyote [whom
I have been a huge fan of forever, btw
:)] and Jacqueline McKenzie. Are there any cast members you really got along
especially well with?
Conchita:
I have to say
I loved everybody. The whole cast and crew was excellent and I can't wait to
work with them again.
Karen:
Is Maia and The 4400
your favorite role and job so far? If not, which one is?
Conchita:
I liked all my
roles but Maia is my favorite one. There is something special about her...
Karen:
The show has
done really well, and already has a lot of loyal fans. There are many rumors
about it coming back, either as a series or a mini-series again. I have to ask:
do you know if The 4400
will be back as a series?
Conchita:
I would love
to be the one who breaks the news but for now it is still TBA.
Karen:
It may be a
little early to ask this, but I believe you've probably given thought to your
future, since you've already been working for several years. :) What do you see
in your future?
Conchita:
I know that I
would love to work with great directors and actors because I could learn a lot.
It is always fun for me to watch how things are done.
Thank you again, so much, Conchita. I'm sure whether as Maia on The 4400 or
other projects, we'll be seeing a lot more of you. Keep having fun!
