Another month, another book. Following the advice of my husband, who (being a literature enthusiast and expert) considers it a masterpiece, I read this portrait of life in an American small town at the beginning of the 20th century. A collection of people’s stories revolving around the life of a young reporter, who interacts with them all, in a book defined by the author as being ” the book of the grotesque”. Written in 1919, yet so modern it gives an accurate description of hypocrisy, misery illness, oddity, love and loneliness. Masterfully written. A masterpiece indeed.
P. S. Thanks for the advice my love.

Another month, another book. Set in a gloomy and bizzarre London in the ‘30’s, with reminiscences of Kafka, the main character D., escaping from a civil war in an unidentifiable foreign country, finds himself involved in a story of murder, persecution and sudden turns of events which keep the reader interested and amused at all times. Sometimes claustrophobic, sometimes absurd, this book was written under the influence of Benzedrine (I.e.speed) as Graham Green himself candidly admitted. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite cult movies of all times “ The Warriors”. First time I went to Coney Island in New York I could hear the child-like voice of Luther shouting from a car “ Warriors come out to playyyyyyyy”. Here they are then and now almost 40 years later.

When we started shooting Jonathan Demme asked me: “ Would you prefer to be seated, lying down writing or drawing?”
I answered ”I want to be standing up, in the middle of the cell waiting for Clarice”.
He said: “ And how would you know when she gets there?”.
And me “ i’ll smell her”.
I thought it was a good idea to frighten the audience. Before you can actually see Hannibal Lecter, you hear that he is a psychopath who talks nonsense. Presenting the opposite of what the audience expects, you end up frightening them. 
Like a cat about to jump on its victim or like a lion about to kill its prey. They stay motionless, they don’t move a single muscle.
God only knows how I understood that man and how to play him. The dark side of the human mind fascinates me, as it is often our most creative aspect. If we deny our dark side we end up
living a bland or destructive life, since that side will emerge one way or another.
This is am extract of an interview with Sir Anthony Hopkins on his character Hannibal Lecter in “The silence of the lambs”. Remember this movie ?

“We have both lost ourselves and created something else, something that exists only as an interlacing of the two of us”
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)

There is a thread that connects artists from the cave painters of Paleolithic times to the present day. It is a sort of creativity anyone can tap into and the main theme throughout the ages is that the artist sixto describe the human soul. Included within that all the questions we ask ourselves about life death and human consciousness. These are my guidelines for making work, and I’m grateful that my interests are broad and that my works speak a universal language.
