My good friend and great musician Tore Brunborg, soulful Norwegian jazz, for stirring, poignant hunting sax tunes to accompany you through the night, any night. I listen to Pearl Jam (remake of who) ‘Love reign o’er me’ when I climb mountains, 99 Posse ‘curre, curre guagliò’ when I’d like to slow down, Eddi Vedder ‘long nights’ when I feel alone, Van Morrison "in the garden" when I need poetry, TV on the Radio when I get ready for a night out, Santana ‘puts your lights on’ when is too dark inside my head, Ben Harper "amen omen" when I'm emotional, Lamb when I'm strange, LCD Soundsystem when I clean, Nine Inch Nails when I'm in love, Manu Chao when I run, Patti Smith ‘people have the power’ when I drive and sing along…
If I had to choose 5 for emotional reasons: nikita, blade runner, my life as a dog, four weddings and a funeral, simple men. A few films I liked: salam bombay, about a boy, high fever, persona, little miss sunshine, everything is illuminated, the namesake. Seen recently: love reign over me, the science of sleep, into the wild, valentin, derecho de familia, hijos, meduse, caramel
I hardly ever watch tv, but I can get addicted to tv series. My all time favorites are northern exposure, friends, sex & the city, black adder, faulty towers. Recent: grey's anatomy, brothers & sisters. I also like Fabio Fazio 'che tempo che fa'
I love books written by women about themselves, books written by man about themselves, anything about the human quest for something greater, for a better life, books about survivors with a happy, positive, hopeful ending and empowering messages. I also like light fun books written with a great sense of humor. And love stories of course...some names? Elisabeth Gilbert, Dorothy Allison, Nick Hornby, Wally Lamb, Barbara Kingsolver, Jeannette Winterson, lucia Extebarria...
