“place where man laughs, sings, picks flowers, chases butterflies and pets birds, makes love with maidens, and plays with children. Here he spontaneously reveals his nature, the base as well as the noble. Here also he buries his sorrows and difficulties and cherishes his ideals and hopes. It is in the garden that men discover themselves. Indeed one discovers not only his real self but also his ideal self?he returns to his youth. Inevitably the garden is made the scene of man's merriment, escapades, romantic abandonment, spiritual awakening or the perfection of his finer self.” MenWellsChildrenMadeRealSelfPlaySpiritualLaughingYouthFlowerReturnSorrowSceneBirdPicksIdealsGardenPerfectionDifficultyNobleAwakeningPetCherishButterflyMaking LoveAbandonmentSpiritual AwakeningMaidensReal SelfMerrimentEscapade Author:Confucius

“I spent a lot of time with a real detective, a lady detective inspector who was the only female detective inspector in the whole of East London. She and I hung out a lot. She showed me what she did and I spent time with her. So, [she was] a lot of the inspiration for the way I dressed and sometimes the dialogue in those interview scenes where we're cross examining and questioning the youths and trying to get a confession out of them.” WayTryingRealSometimesWholeInspirationYouthSceneFemaleCrossesEastLondonDialogueInterviewsQuestioningConfessionHungDetectivesExaminingInspectorsEast London Author:Emily Mortimer
“Contradictions, most of all, a balance between chaos and order. It needs neighborhoods vibrating with energy just as much as cozy little corners and parks; well-tended, middle-class sections as well as an alternative scene; technology centers for innovative youth and social facilities for older people.” PeopleNeedsWellsLittlesOrderEnergySocialClassTechnologyMiddleYouthBalanceSceneChaosCornersAlternativesParksContradictionMiddle ClassNeighborhoodSectionsInnovativeFacilityCozyOlder People Author:Charles Landry
“My emotional investment started when I read the first scene of the actual drama [45 Years]. I can't explain it, there's no logic to it, but the notion of one's youth that somehow comes back but is gone, a man of my age connecting to that timing of life.” MenYearsFirstsI CanAgeGoneYouthEmotionalDramaSceneLogicInvestmentNotionTimingConnectingEmotional Investment Author:Tom Courtenay
“We did monologues and scenes, and New York I did a scene from Amadeus and a monologue from Pounding Nails in the Floor With My Forehead by Eric Bogosian, and then in L.A. I switched the scene to This is Our Youth and did the same monologue. I was spiky-haired, super skinny. A lot of people were like, "You should come here and do a sitcom." That was the feedback that I got. Obviously it was quite a different journey than the one I've actually had, but I just listened to people.” PeopleShouldDifferentJourneyNew YorkYouthLike YouSceneNailsFeedbackSkinnyForeheadsSitcomEricJust ListenMonologuesAmadeus Author:Zachary Quinto
“And even if these scenes from our youth were given back to us we would hardly know what to do. The tender, secret influence that passed from them into us could not rise again. We might be amongst them and move in them; we might remember and love them and be stirred by the sight of them. But it would be like gazing at the photograph of a dead comrade; those are his features, it is his face, and the days we spent together take on a mournful life in the memory; but the man himself it is not.” IfsKnowsMenMightWould BeTogetherRememberFacesMovingGivenMemoriesSecretInfluenceYouthSceneAnd LoveSightPhotographFeaturesComradeGazing Author:Erich Maria Remarque
