“Once upon a time humans faced each other and pulled thoughts from minds, advanced rapidly, revolutionised industry and evolved explosively. Then one day they stopped, and stared at a box.

“The landscape, like Los Angeles itself, is transitional. Impermanence haunts the city, with its mushroom industries--the aircraft perpetually becoming obsolete, the oil which must one day be exhausted, the movies which fill America's theatres for six months and are forgotten. Many of its houses--especially the grander ones--have a curiously disturbing atmosphere, a kind of psychological dankness which smells of anxiety, overdrafts, uneasy lust, whisky, divorce and lies.” KindAmericaLyingHouseCitiesMonthsIndustryBecomingOne DayAnxietySixForgottenDivorceSmellOilTheatreLustPsychologicalLandscapeAtmosphereLos AngelesExhaustedSix MonthsDisturbingObsoleteImpermanenceMushroomsUneasyAircraftWhiskyBecoming Obsolete Author:Christopher Isherwood
“An Italian philosopher said that "time was his estate"; an estate indeed which will produce nothing without cultivation, but will always abundantly repay the labors of industry, and generally satisfy the most extensive desires, if no part of it be suffered to lie in waste by negligence, to be overrun with noxious plants, or laid out for show rather than for use.” IfsSaidUseShowsLyingDesireProduceIndustryOne DayWasteLaborPlantPhilosopherItalianEstatesCultivationNegligence Author:Samuel Johnson

“I've been really lucky with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won't do it anymore.

“I think every filmmaker in Europe would be lying if they didn't say one day they just wanted to make a movie here in Hollywood or at least try it. It's very different from European filmmaking, because here it's like a real industry.
