[on The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: The Murder in Angel Lane (2013)] I had already agreed to do this before I’d even read the script, because Paddy [Paddy Considine] was in it. It was weird acting with him because, on Tyrannosaur (2011), he was the best director in the world. On this, when the director gave me notes, I’d keep checking Paddy’s eyes to see if everything was all right, and he’d have to tell me, “I’m not the director!”

I came to New York when I was 25, and I worked at Howard Johnson’s in Times Square, where I did the door in this completely silly uniform. Before that, I had been a student at the Pasadena Playhouse, where I had been awarded the least-likely-to-succeed prize, along with my pal Dustin Hoffman, which was a big reason we set off for New York together. Out of nowhere, this teacher I totally despised at the Pasadena Playhouse suddenly walked by HoJo’s and came right up into my face and shouted, “See, Hackman, I told you that you would never amount to anything!” I felt one inch tall.

I will never get tired of making chocolate chip cookies. Never.

Love Actually [is] one of the cutest Christmas movies.

Love leaves a memory nobody can take away from you.

[accepting her Oscar for Julia (1977)] My dear colleagues, I thank you very, very much for this tribute to my work. I think that Jane Fonda and I have done the best work of our lives, and I salute you and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should be very proud that in the last few weeks you have stood firm and you have refused to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums [interrupted by boos] whose behavior is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world and to their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism and oppression. And I pledge to you that I will continue to fight against anti-Semitism and fascism. Thank you.

Happy Birthday: Charles S. Dutton

charlessdutton.jpgCharles S. Dutton

Born: January 30, 1951 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA

In a few years, I ended up going from jail to Yale.

I have a farm in Maryland with 18 horses – 12 Clydesdales and the rest palominos. I also have eight big cats – two lions, two tigers, two leopards, a bobcat and a three-legged mountain lion.”

I used to be a hardcore, hardhearted guy. Once you make the decision to change, all kinds of things happen.

When I was out there on stage and the guys were laughing, I could see I had them in the palm of my hand. I thought, “I just discovered what I was born to do.” It was an enormous kind of power.

Born: January 30, 1958 in Montgomery, Alabama, USA

I’m so Southern I’m related to myself.

I hate bigots so much it makes me one.

[Jan. 2013] I lost my husband, my job, the respect of people I admire greatly, everything. But I still didn’t sober up for another six months. The closeness that I came to dying was really remarkable.

ENJOY, Poetry by GUILLERMO ROCHA

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre: Life
—-

Always, enjoy the life

It’s a big miracle that involves

constant breath, profitable moments and a lot of suffering

You can create your own circumstances

Always or sometimes

Be your essence

It’s a daily work that you must improve

Through walk without socks at grass

Forgive your big and small mistakes

You are free to decide.

When you to liberate you mind?

Happy, Poetry by Samrat Rudra

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre: hurt, dark, death, sad

—–

 When I was happy
I didn’t bother to care
that people are dying, orphans are crying
I satisfied that I am here…

Here so happy and cherish and good
But still I wish for more,
But what about the beggars on street
or people who died ashore..

I am so happy but still I am crying
that so much I didn’t get
Think about the soldiers who die
Their funerals don’t have a bed

Blood is shed, sacrifices made
It’s how they leave their loved
So when I compare them with my life
I am happy and its not so hard…
