“I just think of interesting roles to play. I guess that I have matured, I guess growing up and becoming a man, your taste in characters changes and I think I have become more interested in active characters as I have become less contemplative in my personal life. Things have become a little bit more interesting in the doing these days and less interesting in the thinking about the doing.” ThinkingMenLittlesPlayCharacterBitsInterestingRolesGrowing UpGrowingBecomingTasteLittle BitActiveThese DaysPersonal LifeContemplativeMaturedBecoming A ManCharacter Change Author:Josh Hartnett

“I grew up in the time just when cassettes were waning and CDs were growing. And so mix tapes - and not mix CDs - mix tapes were an important part of the friendship and mating rituals of New York adolescents. If you were a girl and I wanted you - to show you I like you, I would make you a 90-minute cassette wherein I would show off my tastes. I would play you a musical theater song next to a hip-hop song next to an oldie next to some pop song you maybe never heard, also subliminally telling you how much I like you with all these songs.” IfsImportantPlayShowsWantedSongGirlNextGrowingHeardMinutesNew YorkLike YouGrewTasteGrew UpTheaterMusicalHip HopPopsHipsHopsRitualTapeCdsShowing OffI Like YouPop SongMatingMusical TheaterCassettesHip Hop Song Author:Lin-Manuel Miranda
“I think there's a huge parallel that affects my musical taste, and connections that have to do with my ethnic diversity and my musical tastes and the diversity of that. And it's interesting that, growing up on the circuit, it posed such a challenge, not only to me deciding what my identity was amongst my peers, but then on the music side, it was like trying to explain or convince people especially in the music industry that there was a place for what I was trying to do. But at the same time, I think it has a lot to do with timing and even me, like, understanding it.” PeopleThinkingTryingUnderstandingSidesChallengesInterestingGrowing UpGrowingIdentityHugeIndustryTasteDiversityConnectionsMusicalConvinceTimingPeersParallelsMusic IndustryCircuitsMusical TasteEthnic Diversity Author:Miguel

“A day, a livelong day, is not one thing but many. It changes not only in growing light toward zenith and decline again, but in texture and mood, in tone and meaning, warped by a thousand factors of season, of heat or cold, of still or multi winds, torqued by odors, tastes, and the fabrics of ice or grass, of bud or leaf or black-drawn naked limbs. And as a day changes so do its subjects, bugs and birds, cates, dogs, butterflies and people.” PeopleStillsLightBlackGrowingOne ThingSubjectsDogWindColdTasteThousandBirdSeasonsMoodNakedFactorsIceGrassHeatToneDeclineButterflyFabricLeafsBugsLimbsTextureBudOdorZenith Book:The Winter of our Discontent Source: The Winter of our Discontent
