THE STAR SCOOP: You don't have an official website do you?
O'CONNOR: No, but I will be bringing one up. That's a question nobody knows. I'm definitely working on trying to get a website up.
THE STAR SCOOP: Choose one question you’d like to answer and answer it.
O'CONNOR: Hmm (laughs). I've been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who's inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I've had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes - mountains and water and flowers and birds. And there's this picture that's on the cover and its a picture of a Tsunami. And it's really interesting to look at it and go, "wow," you know - it's just spectacular how he animates this wave. And now I look at it and it's so incredibly haunting because you look at this piece - it's called The Great Wave at Kanauagawa and it's enormous and it's just incredible to see how within our lifetime on this planet that people have all experienced such bizarre natural disasters. And I'm not trying to sound, you know, gloom and doom but it's just interesting to see I don't know - how you can connect something that's so old - this is from 1830 to now. And you go oh my gosh. This touches all of us forever. And it's so beautifully done, at the same time kind of frightening. So that's something that's been by my bed - how about the book by my bed lately - that was the question.
