Famed screen actress, Lydia Forson is currently on a media run promoting her self-produced movie A Letter from Adam.
In an interview with Giovani Caleb on E.TV�s Late Night Celebrity Show which airs on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30PM, she said;�I always tell people I�m not a celebrity but a film maker andan artiste. I was not on a break, because I was in productions that were released outside Ghana but movie goers always want more because even at the premier of A Letter from Adam people were asking when the next one will be coming. A Hollywood artist can stay behind the scenes for years and that doesn�t make that person less of an artiste but in Ghana, people want to see you on screen all year round.�
After playing several roles in Sparrow Productions� projects as a company she squashed the notion she had falling out with the Shirley Frimpong-Manso led motion house.
�The industry is big enough for everyone and I�m an actress and not in contract with any production house, but what is funny is that when I was in all Sparrow Production movies, people were complaining I didn�t want to work with other production houses and now I start doing movies with other production houses and everyone wonders why I�m not shooting with Sparrow again. Who knows I might be in another Sparrow production soon. I�m an artist.�
Deciding which role suits a picky actress like Lydia is simple,
�I know a script will be good or bad after reading the first few pages. But another thing is that I do well to finish all the scripts I get whether they are good or bad. However bad it is, I make sure I finish it so I can make an informed decision. Usually from the few pages, I know this is a script I will like to work on or not.�
And like everyone, Miss Forson known widely for her award winning performances in A Perfect Picture needs advice too;
�There are people I probably don�t see or speak to on the regular, sometimes it will take a year or two to see them but they are the first people I call when I need advice, even though I have my mom and other family around, it�s not everything you want to tell your family. So I have friends on standbythat takes care of that.�
