“If you could only tell them that living and spending isn’t the same thing! But it’s no good. If only they were educated to live instead of earn and spend, they could manage very happily.”
― D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover
I'm a star! And the audience loves me, and I love them, and they love me for loving them, and I love them for loving me. And we looove each other. And that's because none of us got enough love in our childhoods. And that's showbiz, kid.
Ask me things, say things, send love letters etc

"There are so many comedies in which a guy plays a man-child and that’s seen as funny. So I wanted for a woman to do that and show, actually, how sinister that is. Also, women are always supposed to be likable in movies, it’s the men who get the juicy parts. I wanted to make a female character who was unlikable but also interesting"

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”

"We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent - see, he’s jealous, he cares - a woman shows how much she cares by how much she’s willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure."

"it is absolutely ridiculous to pretend that pornography doesn’t impact people and culture and lives. Movies impact people and culture and lives. So does advertising. So does television. People buy things because TV tells them to. True story. Razors are not a necessity. Neither is wrinkle cream. I have both of those things! Why? The TV told me I needed them. This isn’t to say that people don’t have agency in terms of buying into consumer culture or porn culture, to a certain extent, but it is to say that these industries permeate the psyches of who are exposed to them."

binge-reading Craig Finn interviews for life inspiration.
AVC: You challenged yourself to write a song a day during the process of making this record. What was the point of that, and what did you take from that experience?
CF: It’s funny, when I look back—I’ve been talking about that a lot—every year, I quit drinking for Lent, and I think that was also during Lent, so it might’ve been just to give myself something to do. [Laughs.] But it came from my friend who wrote on Letterman. He would joke, “It doesn’t matter. I can try to sit down and write a really good show, but I can’t really get writer’s block, because my show’s going to be on the air at 11:30. So first I write a show, and then I try to make it good.” And I was like, “Oh. Well, that’s what I’ll do. First, I’ll write a song, and then I’ll try to make it a good song.” So it gives you a structure to work with, and something to improve. That was the idea, and it changed my way of thinking about making music or making art, in that if you sit down, you got to put the work into it. You can’t sit and think and wait for inspiration to strike.
