A crush

a crush -пылкая любовь...

Michael Parkinson interview with Meg Ryan.

In October 2003, Parkinson had a controversial interview with Meg Ryan while she was in the United Kingdom to promote 'In the Cut'.
Parkinson: “I should have closed it. But listen, it happens. She was an unhappy woman. I felt sorry for her. What I couldn’t forgive her for was that she was rude to the other guests.”
Ryan: “I don’t even know the man. That guy was like some disapproving father! It’s crazy. I don’t know what he is to you guys, but he’s a nut. I felt like he was berating me for being naked in the movie. He said something like: ‘You should go back to doing what you were doing’. And I thought, are you like a disapproving dad right now? I’m not even related to you. Back off, buddy. I was so offended by him.”

The Roads We Take

Disordered Association...

The Roads We Take by O. Henry.
The roads that we choose are not always choose us.
It ain't the roads we take; it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do. О. Генри.


Revolutionary Road (film)
...theme of self-discovery...speeches about the lousiness of their lives...shows you what a dreamer without a dream looks like.

...last night's - When Piers Met Lord Sugar, Saturday 9pm, ITV1

5 minutes with... Kevin McCloud, Grand Designs.
WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE VISIT OF ALL TIME?
It still has to be Ben Law in the woods. I revisited him last summer. Maybe that revisit forms part of this series. We've got eight new projects and about five or six revisits.
'Ben is a real gem. He wanted to live in the woods because he loves the trees. Appropriately, his house is made entirely of wood - eco-friendly and beautiful. The perfect design.'

BBC - BBC One Programmes - Imagine, 2010/11, Nigel Kennedy's Polish Adventure

BBC - BBC One Programmes - Imagine, 2010/11, Nigel Kennedy's Polish Adventure: "The virtuoso violinist Nigel Kennedy became Britain's most celebrated classical musician after the release of his 1989 recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which sold 2 million copies. But Kennedy had always harboured a love of jazz - an affection which the former child prodigy has been pursuing in his new home. Kennedy now lives in Poland, where he fronts an all-Polish jazz band, the Nigel Kennedy Quintet, and has recently founded The Orchestra of Life, an ensemble consisting of mostly young musicians.
In Imagine: Nigel Kennedy's Polish Adventure, Alan Yentob traces Kennedy's personal odyssey, and follows him as he explores the rich musical traditions of his adopted homeland."
