“It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John.

Now I do too, I'm so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop.” CountryYoungMotherGirlGrowing UpGrowingHugeListeningHeavyMetalsFanaticsNelsonHeavy MetalIndigo Author:Tig Notaro

“One of my beliefs as a filmmaker is that if you can make somebody laugh, you can make them listen. With laughter, you can get somebody's guard down, you can open them up to listening to you. They don't feel like they're being preached to or talked down to. I think it helps, it makes really hard to understand information a little more accessible and palatable. And at the end of the day, it makes a movie a little more fun. It doesn't feel so heavy handed.” IfsThinkingFeelsLittlesEndsHardHelpingBeliefFunLaughingInformationListeningLaughterHeavyFilmmakerThe End Of The DayAnd At The End Of The Day Author:Morgan Spurlock
