“I love writing in longhand. Writing in longhand, I think, is a marvelous thing to do for a writer these days. If you have a notebook and a nice pen you can go off somewhere, you can write that's solar powered. You can drop it or get it wet and pretty much all of your work will continue to be there. If you suddenly decide to look up a word or check a reference you will not look up four hours later, blinking, finding yourself somehow in the middle of an Ebay auction you never had any plans to be part of.” IfsThinkingWritingLooksHoursFourNicePlansMiddleFindingsChecksThese DaysThings To DoLook UpFinding YourselfPensWetMarvelousNotebookAuctionsEbayMarvelous Things Author:Neil Gaiman

“There are some films that arrive here from the international festival circuit almost incandescent with self-importance. They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves. They look up at the sceptical observer with the saucer-eyed saintliness of a baby seal in culling season, or a charity mugger smilingly wishing a nice day on the retreating back of a passer-by. One such is Babel.” LooksKindSelfFilmMovingWishChallengesNiceBabySeasonsImportanceProfoundCharityInternationalCinemaLook UpGet OverFloatingObserversFestivalsSealsCircuitsTranceSelf-importanceReluctanceNice DayBabelMuggersCulling Author:Peter Bradshaw
“I always had a weak chin because we couldn't afford to correct my bite, which could have been corrected with braces. So the chin was always weak. And I always was - kind of hated my profile.

“One time we stayed at a B&B, and there were a couple of hippies who had this nice little area and they let us sleep in their beds that they had in the back.Then the woman suggested we go out and lie on some cushions and look up at the stars and look for UFOs and she said, "You know, I do this all the time," and I was like, "Okay..." So there we are, lying there next to this amazing loch, and we're looking up in the stars and I don't really know what I was expecting, but to see some sort of metallic object.” KnowsLooksLittlesSaidLyingNextStarsSleepNiceObjectsCoupleBedAreasOkayLook UpOne TimeExpectingHippieUfoCushionsMetallic Author:Rhys Darby
