“The scent organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio - rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon; a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar and newmown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord - a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig's dung) back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began. The final blast of thyme died away; there was a round of applause; the lights went up.” LightSimplePiecesKeysReturnDiedSeriesFinalsRoundsSubtleCulinaryDaringOrgansSuspicionPigsScentOccasionalApplauseSpicesBlastRefreshingDiscordKidneysPuddingHayLavenderCedarsRosemaryMyrtleBasilThymeSandalwood Book:The Collected Works of Aldous Huxley: Brave new world Source: The Collected Works of Aldous Huxley: Brave new world

“I always look for a "rhythm" in my writing. A cadence to the sentences.

“In terms of trying to improve as an actor, for me it's always important to return to the stage. After doing a piece of theater for a prolonged period, I can think I must have surely improved in some way as an actor - you must be fitter than you were prior to doing it. For me, theater is very, very important in keeping things fresh and dangerous.” ThinkingWayTryingI CanImportantActorsTermPiecesStageDangerousReturnPeriodsTheater Author:Cillian Murphy

“I think that the most significant, guiding principle was that we wanted to return to a three-piece live form, whereas we became a four-piece for the last record because the songs had more extensive arrangements and we needed a keyboard player to pull off a lot of those songs.

“My return to the theater in New York was so specific.

“I give you five minutes to spare your blushes. here is the little bronze key that opens the ebony caskets on the mantle piece in the Louise-Phillipe room. In one of the caskets you will find a scorpion, in the other, a grasshopper, both very cleverly imitated in Japanese bronze: they will say yes or no for you. If you turn the scorpion round, that will mean to me, when I return that you have said yes. The grasshopper will mean no... The grasshopper, be careful of the grass hopper!

“I decide that sometimes definitions are wrong. Even if they're written in a dictionary. Identities aren't always separate and distinct. Sometimes they ARE wrapped up with others. Sometimes, for a few minutes, maybe they can even be shared.
