Finally, after a lot of searching and digging, it was simply the love of family that gave me a road into the character. Once I got into that, and we delved into what it would be like to survive cancer and the ability to see how precious life is, it became easier to play her. ↗

It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is. I think it's healthy that people should have this experience. ↗

I yet beseech your majesty,-- If for I want that glib and oily art, To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend, I'll do't before I speak,--that you make known It is no vicious blot, murder, or foulness, No unchaste action, or dishonour'd step, That hath deprived me of your grace and favour; But even for want of that for which I am richer, A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue As I am glad I have not, though not to have it Hath lost me in your liking. ↗

Tata profeţeşte, în continuare, aghezmuind cu pensula de vopsea. Zice că dacă au desfiinţat Şcoala Blajului, azi-mâine - or să desfiinţeze şi Biserica Unită, cine să-i împiedice, ba chiar o să le sară în ajutor Sfânta Biserică Ortodoxă, crezînd că astfel are să întoarcă la turmă oiţele rătăcite la 1700... Mai zice tata ce-a mai zis, că vrem, nu vrem, greco-catolicii ardeleni ne-au învăţat carte - din păcate nu ăi pe noi, Basarabenii, căzuţi sub Ruşi. Ne ţine tata, pentru a nu ştiu câta oară, conferinţă cu Şcoala Ardeleană şi zice că, de n-ar fi fost papistaşii Maior, Micu, Şincai, şi în ziua de azi ar fi moţăit Românul la umbră turcească, neînstare să se apere măcar de muştele care-i intrau în gură; ar fi pirotit şi-acum pe ceardac, pufăind din narghilè şi horpăind, în somn, din cahfè... ↗

Uno de los primeros recursos propios del escritor profesional que Isabella había aprendido de mí era el arte y la práctica de procrastinar. Todo veterano del oficio sabe que cualquier ocupación, desde afilar el lápiz hasta catalogar musarañas, tiene prioridad al acto de sentarse a la mesa y exprimir el cerebro. Isabella había absorbido por ósmosis esta lección fundamental y al llegar a casa, en vez de encontrarla en su escritorio, la sorprendí en la cocina afinando los últimos toques a una cena que olía y lucía como si su elaboración hubiera sido cuestión de varias horas. ↗

Fame is a delicate and dangerous creature; I saw people who didn't honor it, who refused to take responsibility for it, get destroyed by it. I also saw that stardom in and of itself was empty. ↗

Silk is a fine, delicate, soft, illuminating, beautiful substance. But you can never rip it! If a man takes this tender silk and attempts to tear it, and cannot tear it, is he in his right mind to say "This silk is fake! I thought it was soft, I thought it was delicate, but look, I cannot even tear it" ? Surely, this man is not in his right mind! The silk is not fake! This silk is 100% real. It's the man who is stupid! ↗
