Radical Radha
Radha Mitchell is hotting up Hollywood once again with her new movie, 'Children of the Silk Road'.
WHAT SHE TOOK AWAY FROM FILMING ON LOCATION IN CHINA
"One of the most beautiful things about Asia is how they take the long view. Here we talk about having a one-year plan or a five-year plan. There it's the hundred-year plan, or even a thousand years. It helps you live more expansively when you see yourself as part of something infinite. I like the idea of enduring a long time."
HOW SHE KEEPS IN SHAPE
"I do Yoga. I'd like to say I do it every morning, but I don't, I just don't have the time. I mean, I do it one or two times a week, that's about all I can fit in. But I'm also a vegetarian so there's another factor I guess... I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol. I think it helps a lot in retaining looks and being otherwise healthy."
HER UNUSUAL NAME, RADHA- RANI AMBER INDIGO ANUNDA MITCHELL, TRANSLATES TO "QUEEN OF LOVE".
"My father couldn't decide which name to pick. My parents travelled in India. They were very impractical and romantic. Not me. I've always been very pragmatic ... They had some very progressive ideas for that time. My mother was into performance art and things like that. Before it was cool".

NEIGHBOURS IS THE MANDATORY SOAP FOR AUSSIE ACTORS
"I think everybody should be subjected to it. It's incredibly boring. The first two months I was on it, I had fun. I hadn't worked much, so when it came up, I was, "Wow!". And the guy who I had all my scenes with, he was about to get axed from the show, so he had a passion to stay on. So we were the only people ever in the history of Neighbours to rehearse".
MICK JAGGER SAVED HER FROM FRENCH CUSTOMS AGENTS WHEN SHE FORGOT HER VISA
"They put me in a security room at the airport, and there was Mick. I introduced myself, and somehow he took mercy on me. He spoke to the officials in French and they let me go."
Radha Mitchell stars in Children of the Silk Road, out 3 July.
