a field of grass, not having to say anything when you're w/ a close friend or kindred spirit, good theatre that makes you ache cuz it's so damn good, music that takes you to different places, chocolate ice cream, curling up w/ a great book, cackling till your tummy hurts, dancing till dawn... in the pouring rain! wolfpack.
kindred spirits, eleanora duse, the young dylan and the young lou reed. why young?? because i think they were feeling immortal and hungry when they were young. like, hungry for life, not for burgers and fries. and they were like... our culture's prophets...also Cate Blanchett. She's something like a goddess.
a few of my favorites... lou reed/velvet underground, david bowie, the beatles, leonard cohen, bob dylan neil young...
vertigo, dreamlife of angels, chungking express, japanese story, the hustler, the sound of music, garden state
i hardly ever watch tv, but when i do: greys anatomy, sex in the city and inside the actors studio
letters to a young poet, anything and everything by rilke, anything by somerset maugham, antonin artaud's theories on theatre, big walt whitman fan, his dark materials trilogy, the wind-up bird chronicle, the little prince, pride and prejiduce, my antonia, the doors of perception....
my mother.anyone who has great strength and is committed to truth above all else.
