I'm afraid I'm just too intense to have soft ideas, you know, about what to read when you're trying to pass the time.

Never take your position for granted and never let any favors you receive go to your head.

When you raise your opinion of yourself and what you are capable of it has a decided influence on what you do.

Expand your notion of what adversity is.

It's funny how it reads like a Kubrick-inspired moment, a filmmaker controlling one's mise en scène. What it truly is is a documentary moment.

If we were controlling the performance, we never would have had someone push a button to make the pellet stove come on during a climatic moment. And after the loud pellet stove moment, which is like a Todd Haynes's Safe interruption into the home and into the narrative - as if the home is a like a ghost surrounding the characters - her performance changes entirely.

People want to feel united, they want to have that religious sense they want to feel like at a rave 10,000 people at the rave are feeling the same emotions, a very primal need that's not being fulfilled in the world today.
