How to track down an international celebrity

Interviewing Fiona Shaw and Cillian Murphy was no problem, writes Sophie Gray, 12.

MY NAME is Sophie Gray and I am 12 years old. I am in sixth class in Scoil Mhuire Junior School and I live in Ballinlough in Cork. I play violin and do musicianship and orchestra. I love to sing and have already toured and recorded with my mum’s international youth arts company. I have travelled to Japan, Hungary, and Malaysia and next year I will be a featured performer at the Milan World Expo 2015.

This year, because I love music and singing and performing so much, and because I want to become an actor when I am older, I decided to learn about famous Cork actors and musicians who have made it on the international stage. I thought that through speaking to them I could learn from their experience and achievements and be inspired in my own career.
