About painting:"I guess I'm a little shy about my art, but I love painting people and expressions and faces. I've always done art, though not a lot of people know it. It's really important to me to do that. Since I haven't been in school since July, I've only now realized how much I miss it. I don't make time for it now, and you really have to sit yourself down and think about it and do it."

    DAMN GOODNESS you just shocked me! Thursday is 11th November, not 9th November! I just thought I booked everything wrong…

    Sheila, thanks, I’ve changed it now. That was directly from their press release.

    That's a pretty big prize they are offering there. However I wonder if this is another UK exclusive reward(since it's a UK website and a trip to the UK premiere), though it doesn't say anything like that.
