I had a bunch of ideas for what that song could be, but I didn’t feel it was right for me to give Ryan a song to give to Michelle. And so I gave him a challenge and let him pick out a song for her. Ryan has a great taste and the song he picked out was You and Me by Penny and the Quarters. And I thought it was just great. So I told Ryan to keep the song a secret, and never share it with Michelle until we were shooting. So they day came to shoot the scene, Ryan had the song in his back pocket, and we captured the real moment where one person gives an other person the gift of music. The gift, because it came from Ryan, was personal. Michelle was touched deeply by it. What happens on the screen is a real, living and breathing, intimate moment.

She loved music. I’d take her to hear opera. People were so conservative back then. Nice women didn’t visit places like this. But gossip didn’t bother her.
I’m serious when I talk about women empowerment. My favorite female fictional characters.
The final girl is a trope in horror/slasher films that specifically refers to the last woman or girl alive to confront the killer, ostensibly the one left to tell the story.
It’s understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself.

I have been extremely productive, haven’t I? These were really top notch, I found it hard to tear my eyes away from the tv and do my share of chores because these were so good (especially Funny Face, my favorite Audrey Hepburn film to date).
Any new/old films and TV shows to suggest?
Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
I believe if there’s any kind of God, it wouldn’t be in any of us. Not you or me, but just this little space in between. If there’s any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed, but who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.

There are some places that the road doesn’t go in a circle. There are some places where the road keeps going.
Pleasantville (1998), Gary Ross
I loved this film, the grays against the strong hues of reds and blues. It was just so lovely.
