“My favorite films, I would put my answering machine up to the television set and hit record. I'd tape my favorite movies and then I could go back and listen to them again. I only had the soundtrack, I didn't have the visuals.

“I love my dad. He used to walk around the whole neighborhood and collect old furniture and fix it, like MacGyver with duct tape. One time, he brought a television home. I said, 'Damn, that TV has 500 channels.' When I got older, it didn't have 500 channels - it was a knob from the oven.

“My favorite part about costume designing is the artistry of the job. You meet with a director and a visionary to discuss ideas. You research the characters and figure out the components of their look through your own vision. You create a color palette for a film, television or stage medium and discuss it with the director of photography who then lights your colored subjects.” LooksIdeasCharacterLightJobsFilmVisionSubjectsStageFiguresDesignTelevisionColorDirectorsPhotographyResearchMy FavoriteMediumsCostumesComponentsVisionariesArtistryPalette Author:Ruth E.

“Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television. Fifteen seconds of the purported therapeutic effort, followed by about 45 seconds of a rapidly muttered list of horrific possible side effects. When the ad is over, I can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection, and sudden death. Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating?” I CanRememberCausesSidesHoursEffortCasesFourEffectsTelevisionDrugMy FavoriteListsDamageReliefSecondsAdsFifteenNastyPillsLiverTherapeuticHorrificSide EffectsComicalNauseaOdditiesVomitingSudden DeathExactly IsProjectileAbdominals Author:Charles Krauthammer
