DIEM25: How did you get to know Julian Assange – and how did you find him as a person?

Pamela Anderson: I met Julian through Vivienne Westwood. Of course I knew of him and actually put his name in a poem – ‘Smoldering’ - that was published in my online ejournal. I was truly grateful to him for his obvious sacrifice. And when Vivienne recommended we should visit, I really wanted to meet him. I wanted to get his advice on how to be more effective as an activist. His bravery was simply contagious. I admire Julian - his life, his choices.
