When SILENCE of the LAMBS did WELL commercially it was more than anything. My partner Ed Saxon and I were just so relieved that finally we had MADE a MOVIE that had made some money!
I MISSED a tuna-fish sandwich with mayo on toasted wheat BREAD more than anything. Six MONTHS after I went vegan, I snuck into a deli and took one home. And, of course, it wasn't nearly as GOOD as I fantasized. It tasted, well, fishy.
PEOPLE that were in my life for a long TIME turned sinister and tried to control me, and all kinds of weird stuff happened. But there was no conscience INVOLVED; that threw me more than ANYTHING.
I think we shouldn't be SHY of thinking that we can interpret TEXT like a movie again, depending on the point of view and what we do with it more than anything else. Of course a lot of remakes of important films, particularly of horror films, they SUCK.
A WONDERFUL emotion to GET things moving when one is STUCK is anger. It was anger more than anything ELSE that had SET me off, roused me into productivity and creativity.
Watching boxer Dingko Singh's performance at the ASIANGAMES, Bangkok, where he won gold, was the DEFINING moment. I was 15 and enjoyed sports more than ANYTHING else. Singh's performance CHANGED my life and inspired me to follow boxing.
I LEARNTHINGS myself. I CALL it YouTube UNIVERSITY; YouTube has taught me more than anything. I learned how to tie a tie, all my pick-up LINES come from YouTube reruns of 'Fresh Prince.'
