Yooooo Halooooo
Hallo people:)
I Thought I would stop in and say hello to everybody:)
Thank you all so Much for writing in to the website, I am slowly attempting to answer everybody;)
I know I have said it before but Truly & Honestly, The Love ,support and kindness I have received through this website and twitter and FB has affected me in such a deep and powerful way. I cannot really put it into words.
It makes my every day brighter.
Thank you again and again and again.:)
Lately I have been very busy doing a million holiday things.
I have been writing alot and am going to start going through my hoards of piles and boxes and boxes of writing journals, drawings and artwork. I am going to START the process of getting things ready for a book.
I have always been very shy and protective of my writing. I was raised to be professional always. Never to show any fear or to let anyone get too close. I have a brilliant mother who always sought to protect me from any and all harm. My writing comes straight out of my heart, my guts, my marrow. There is no training or filter when I write. It is for this reason that my music and writing have always been kept so close. I do feel though that they are incredibly powerful mediums. There has been literature that has really touched me, moved me so deeply and affected the way I live my life. There have been times where Things were really hard and a piece of writing or a piece of music literally gave me the strength and the hope to carry on. There have been times where i felt that no one on Earth could ever understand how I feel or know what I had gone through or was going through. I felt so desperately alone In the world , then I found that One song or that one poem that just blew my mind and saved the day. I would never be so arrogant as to hope that I might do the same for someone someday through my own music , art or writing but if I can touch someone, if what I do can move them or do them good in some way then it’s all worth it to me.
I must admit, It has been a sharp learning curve trying to figure out how to get my music out there without the massive promotion machine of a label behind me. I am learning more every day though and I am eager to keep recording.
I Just love it!!! I love music so much that I can’t even describe it. Music is like air to me. It is a necessity. Plain and simple:)
People have been asking when they can next see me on the screen. I will let you know when i know.:)
As many of you may have noticed I’m pretty picky about what I choose to do as acting is more than just a job to me.
I am looking for the right piece to do, something I can really sink my teeth into.
Meanwhile I am really thoroughly enjoying my life of Making art, music and writing.
I feel very strong and very positive these days.
I am finally allowing myself the time and space to do all the things I have wanted to do and let me tell you it’s a BLAST!!!!
Some people have asked me if I will sell prints of my work. YES!
I Will indeed be making prints available and I am in the process of making that happen.
I want them to be Giclee quality, the very best, so They must be done right or not at all, That’s why It’s taking me a bit longer to make it happen.
Also People have asked about t-shirts and clothing. I am working on the artwork for those and I want to use a good company to make the shirts. They have to be really high end or nothing you know? I see so many people selling lame run of the mill shirts.I want mine to be very special and to do limited editions.
My goodness! I have so many ideas!!!! yaaayyy!!! Doesn’t it feel fantastic when you are in an extremely creative mode!!!
Anyhoo I hope that all of you are doing well and are staying calm through the holiday madness and stress.
I was SO happy to see how many people are actively doing charitable works this year. It fills me with such love and hope and gladness. It has been a really rough few years all around for everyone and the fact that people are keeping their heads up and instead of drowning their stresses and sorrows in shopping binges,They are creatively turning it around and realizing what is truly important in this life. No matter how bad things are ,there’s always someone who has it worse than you do. There is always a way to help others, even if it’s just helping someone cross the street or just being kind to someone .
I am so honored and proud to get to know you and count you as my friends even if we have never met or even ever will.
We all need to get off our butts this year and really make some change for the better and it sounds like many of us are ready and are doing it already! AWESOME! -(as in the true meaning of that word, not the valley girl usage!)
Wit that I leave you for now…… Oh!!! The recipes! I MUST get to that soon too!!

Fabulously written luv. I agree with your statement “They must be done right or not at all” I seem to suffer immensely from the same pride in my works. Seems everyone else can LOVE it and I will find a flaw here or there or think ” I could have made that brighter, darker, straighter etc. ” not a perfectionist by far, I swear ! But, just like to know that the work reflects what I was truely feeling or thinking at the moment. Eh, maybe I am perfectionist, lol. You do great works of art luv! A true geisha in every sence of the word. (gei) meaning “art” and (sha) meaning “person” or “doer”. So, you are an artful person indeed!! Namaste!
That was a good read…You touched on everything and i always liked you so much as an actress and now i also like you as musician,artist & most important as a person who cares and speaks her mind and lives her life how she wants to…I love your music and keep listening to it over and over…I hope for more and maybe a full length cd someday.You thank !!!
I just feel the same about music and literature saving my day sometimes, great post. It’s really awesome what u do, onestly, i mean communicating with people who admire u. Can’t wait to read a book written by u. Merry Christmas to everyone :)
Dear Fairuza…
Your message is very moving … You know when I read English, I don’t feel emotions directly linked to the words, because my mother language is French. But when I read your writing,I feel every time all the emotions that you communicate us very intently.
By your words, you can touch any human being whatever its origins, values, religion, occupational status, education … No matter where we are in the world, no matter the language we speak, you touch all of us deep in our hearts.. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH !
I always noticed that discretion about your work, and I think it’s a great quality because we are always very surprised by the originality and diversity of your work in painting, music, movies…etc.
It’s for us like surprises, and for instance, for these Christmas holidays approaching, you couldn’t do better than to sing us with your very blues / rock and groovy voice => “Stormwinds.
There are “artists” who claim to have a lot of projects but who never go after their goals.
And you, Fairuza, you’re one of few artists who keep their word. And it’s always a delight to discover you again and again in many different arts :)
I can’t wait to discover your book for children. I’m very curious … You make my heart sparkle =)
You know, reading your message, I shed a few tears because I felt the intensity of your writing, and all your emotions that you have submitted through your words. I feel when I read you, a great and strong feeling as a kind of grace, but at the same time a deep sorrow. I know you’re a very strong woman, but I always felt that deep in your heart, among the thousand treasures we can find you, there is an intense and continuous pain… I think this mixture of very intense emotions causes a form of catharsis in you… Through your music, movies, writing, painting, you confront your emotions, and this causes a catharsis.
Aristotle spoke of “catharsis” as the purification of the soul. I think your soul needs to express itself because you are passionate and inspired by great muses … I’m sure you deserve all the talent that you have because you have a huge heart where there is space for everyone.
If one day you just sing in Paris, I would like to see you on stage … =)
You said “There has been literature that has really touched me, moved me so deeply and affected the way I live my life. ”
Would you have books to recommend?
You know, I think the loneliness eats a lot of people on earth … A person can have a circle of solidarity, have many friends, but paradoxically feels profoundly alone … I think a human being feels alone when he feels that nobody can understand his feelings.
Fairuza I think you’re a person with a complexity of emotions that takes your mind far beyond the physical world because I noticed that you have a worldview that is yours. You see the world in a way that few people get to see … Everything is sensitivity and humanity in you, so into this materialistic world, it makes sense that few people understand you …
I’m not if I’m clear because I speak English like I speak French lol but anyway, I want you to know that we are very touched by your world, we support you with all our heart and we love you … regardless of our culture, no matter where we live, we love you because you’re a very talented artist, very touching, poignant, funny, likeable, passionate, and whose soul is very familiar, reassuring and protective for your friends/fans. So we thank you for that …
Celine,
PS: I’m very glad to know you as also inspired :)
Fairuza,
I know about you mostly through your films.
Your artistic talent clearly shows in the film medium also. You can reach out and pull people into the story, making the viewer “feel” that moment instead of just watching it.
All film fans like having their soul “twisted” a little bit, it makes for the most memorable stories.
I am looking forward to your next film.
So many stars in Hollywood just take any script that comes along. (Michael Caine said in an interview, he was always afraid he wouldn’t get work again, so he made a lot of crap.) But there there are those few who hold out for only the films which speak to them. (Robin Wright is a prime example.) Then there are those few who go their own way, and become appreciated in the mainstream for it, such as Johnny Depp. I guess the irony there is, that the more people you try to please, the fewer you end up pleasing. So the point is… Actually, I have no point. I’m just rambling. :-p
But about the shirts, I once used this online printing service, CafePress. The shirts they made were total crap. They were poor quality, faded with the very first washing, and cost about five times what you would pay in most stores. So I know what you mean about searching for just the right manufacturer.
Well don’t feel too bad about taking so long. I have had this site bookmarked for a long time and decided during the rain that we are having for the last four days to take a look at old bookmarks to see if they are still viable, and yeah was expecting a totally different website from this one. Still about you, but that should teach me to not keep current on things.
I have moved back to my home area and found it rather changed. Seems shoe companies are up one block and down the other. It used to be car shops and industrial. Now it’s shoes and some clothing and fashion making places. But for quality I would not go here. I have seen some of the quality and I do agree, Cafepress must use some of these over here.
Well hope you had a good midwinter celebration despite what mother and her buckets are trying to do to us. heheh
Merry Christmas,
enjoy your holidays!
XOXO
Personally I am grateful that you Fairuza, have decided to share more of yourself with us. You have so much to share with the world as you are very talented. I will always be a fan of yours, YOUR the Greatest babe!

Thanks for writing in, a good friend of mine says he knows of a really good place for the t-shirts. Im just having a hard time deciding what I want to put on them!!
I feel cheezy putting my face on them or anything like that. I think I would like to put some of my art on them perhaps, or maybe some of my little characters.
I’ve lloked at some other folks in entertainment’s sites ad they make all these total cheeze t-shirts and I just think its …well… crap.
I think it is very important to represent yourself in the best way possible.Folks have been selling my image all my life and I have ever seen a cent from ANY of it.
Most of the autographs out there for sale are fake and I cant seem to control that.
I DO try to old out for the right projects. Sometimes I simply have to pay he bills but I would rather find other ways of doing that rater then doing films I will regret. (I have a few of those under my belt myself! believe me!!)
Have a wonderful New year!!!

Thank you
Happy New year!:)

What an incredibly beautiful letter!!!Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.YOu seem like a very sensitive young woman and I am glad to have you as an internet friend.
I do hope you will enjoy my little children’s book.:)
I am hoping to be able to put it out this coming year.
It has been so wonderful to have such great support of folks like you and to know that people are genuinely interested in me as a person not just an an actress.
I hope that you a wonderful holiday my dear:)

Hello Fairuza, Come up with any concrete ideas on your t-shirts yet? I ran into the same issues when I had shirts made up for my schools. I wanted something nice but something that also represented me individually. I think that if it is something that comes from inside you Fairuza that you can’t go wrong. Your talent shines through and I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Best of luck in all you do,,your the greatest.
OMG!! I would buy one of your t-shirts! I think at least one of them needs a picture of you on it…then I could show it off and tell my mates what a fabulous person you are! I love your art aswell. It’s incredible! :) So exciting! xx
