“Writers are much better behaved nowadays, for a couple of reasons. Once upon a time nobody was thinking of a career, unless you lived in New York, so there wasn't as much pressure to present a respectable exterior. And secondly, there was no social media. So if you were found face down on the floor - people did do that quite a bit; usually men, but not always - or fell through plate glass windows or got into scrapes, it became a rumor, and rumors are hard to pin down.” PeopleIfsThinkingMenWritingHardReasonFacesFoundSocialBitsCareersMediaNew YorkCoupleWindowPressureGlassesSocial MediaPlatesRumorPinsRespectableOnce Upon A TimeExterior Author:Margaret Atwood
“Houses are the abiding joys; they are the most emotion-stirring of all things. An automobile is regarded with fond affection, a typewriter becomes the inseparable companion, clothes can stir sentimentality, and the bit of bric-a-brac is a toy one would weep to see torn away - but houses are real, deep, emotional things. How much excitement in the cutting of a window, what enormous importance in the angle of a roof!” RealJoyHouseBitsEmotionCuttingEmotionalClothesAll ThingsWindowImportanceAffectionEnormousExcitementCompanionToysRoofAngleTornAutomobileAbidingInseparableStirringTypewritersSentimentalityEmotional ThingsBricsDeep EmotionalReal Deep Author:Rose Wilder Lane
“In my twenties, I thought I was Robert De Niro and I invested all of myself in my acting. But, as I've got older, I've calmed down a bit. I've thrown my game plan out of the window.” GamesBitsActingPlansWindowTwentiesThrownGame PlanDe Niro Author:Matthew Rhys
“I've always thought of characters like advent calendars. You have Christmas and you have all the little doors over the windows and every day you're allowed to open one more as it gets towards Christmas and you see more and more about what's inside that house.I remember as a kid being fascinated by that and I've always thought of my character as a little bit like that. I like to have secrets and slowly let those secrets out to the audience, sometimes never let them out, but let them see as you open the shutters, open and see a little bit more of a character.” LittlesSometimesCharacterKidsRememberHouseBitsSecretAudienceDoorsLittle BitWindowFascinatedCalendarsAdventShutters Author:Jeremy Irons
