I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.
I love the Potter films. I found them the most wonderful sort of escapism every year or two.
Up there on the screen, we can all fly. But down here on earth, we need to be each others wings.
Everything about filmmaking is incredibly weird, and there's nothing natural about watching yourself on the big screen or hearing your voice. It's that same thing that you feel when you watch yourself on a video camera and you hate the sound of your voice - it's that times 800.
The depiction of the exterior as opposed [to] what you're feeling inside is always so different that it's impossible to know what is right.
The fear of messing up is what makes you work harder!
I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I'm a complete fruit loop.
As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.
As to the aridity you are suffering from, it seems to me our Lord is treating you like someone He considers strong: He wants to test you and see if you love Him as much at times of aridity as when He sends you consolations. I think this is a very great favor for God to show you.
I worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did can achieve the same results. The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.
What a surprise (we all know how tolerant the tolerant are)-.
