"  She sits, smiles, introduces herself politely, then snatches the notes from my fingers, scanning the silly phrases I&amp;#039;ve highlighted in her press clips: Icy Australian beauty...fighting zombies of Silent Hill (2006)...doesn&amp;#039;t try to be sweet...explicit sex scenes in Feast of Love (2007). &amp;quot;Ah, a bit overprepared, are we?&amp;quot; she asks. The ah and are are barely distinguishable despite her ten years in L.A. She&amp;#039;s giggling now and flipping forward to my handwritten scribbles: Radha = goddess (Hindu?); 34; Vin Diesel -- jerk?; The Children of Huang Shi (new movie -- must ask!!). I snatch back. She&amp;#039;s had her fun.   ESQ: Radha-Rani Amber Indigo Anunda Mitchell. How did that happen?   RM: My father couldn&amp;#039;t decide which name to pick. My parents traveled in India. They were very impractical and romantic. Not me. I&amp;#039;ve always been very pragmatic. Now I&amp;#039;ve become very into my computer.  ESQ: Do you blog? It&amp;#039;s okay if you do.  RM: I don&amp;#039;t. I just like getting myself organized.  ESQ: That&amp;#039;s very unactressy.  RM: It&amp;#039;s so unactressy. I also ride my bike a lot. I have a snazzy bike. A real primo bike. It folds up, which is jazzy and kind of sexy. ESQ: Speaking of, you don&amp;#039;t seem to have a problem doing nude scenes. RM: Nudity is totally fine. When you view it through the lens of a prudish, inhibited culture, then it becomes a little perverted. But the experience of acting is that you transcend your own experience.  ESQ: That makes no sense.  RM: All I&amp;#039;m saying is that when you act, you filter out how you feel in a situation. In Feast of Love, my character was totally comfortable being nude. But then I think about it afterward, and it&amp;#039;s like, Well, that was a bit full-on. It&amp;#039;s not something I would spend my time doing, unless it was a big feminist project. ESQ: An all-nude feminist movie? RM: That could be quite interesting. And if there&amp;#039;s going to be a lot of nudity, it should be all different shapes. ESQ: Please don&amp;#039;t say you want to see everyone nude.  RM: I do! Have you ever been to Burning Man? You see all kinds of nude bodies there.  ESQ: And you don&amp;#039;t want to look at 95 percent of them.  RM: Sure I do. Male nudity can be very glamorous. Male models, rock stars.  ESQ: But those guys look like women.  RM: I&amp;#039;m sitting here imagining you nude.  ESQ: That can&amp;#039;t be pretty.  RM: Pale skinned. You haven&amp;#039;t been in the sun lately, have you? I&amp;#039;m endowing you with an innocent childhood nudity.  ESQ: Um, how was shooting [The Children of Huang Shi, out May 23] in China? RM: Did you know that in China babies don&amp;#039;t wear diapers? The baby has a slit up the ass of its clothes, and you just spread its legs over a trash can and it pisses. ESQ: How do the mothers know when? RM: They&amp;#039;re very sensitive and can hear some sound. It was the middle of winter there, freezing cold, and there are these split-assed kids everywhere you go. They can just squat anywhere on the street.  ESQ: Are you following American politics? You like Obama? RM: I can&amp;#039;t say.  ESQ: You can, actually. This isn&amp;#039;t China.  RM: I&amp;#039;ve decided I&amp;#039;m going to be apolitical. We&amp;#039;re beyond politics. Let&amp;#039;s talk about love, not politics.  ESQ: You said you&amp;#039;re a feminist. What does that mean? RM: Equal opportunities for everyone on the planet. If women are going to prostitute themselves, men should as well. There should be more male hookers. And eighteen-year-old women should demand satisfaction from their men.  ESQ: You&amp;#039;re probably impossible to make happy, am I right?  RM: Women no longer need to be in a relationship. You can pay for your own life, you can have children on your own, basically do whatever you want on your own. So if you&amp;#039;re going to create an addition to your life, it should be about love. That makes me happy. ESQ: What kind of guys are you into? RM: It&amp;#039;s not for your little tabloid to know.  ESQ: What? We don&amp;#039;t care who you&amp;#039;re dating.  RM: I&amp;#039;m not talking about it. Ultimately, what I seek to nurture is pure communication and love. Receptivity is divine. Receive what&amp;#039;s happening in life and say yes to it. Like a big vagina. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
