I Would Like To Make One Thing

I Saw The Sound Of Music Again Recently, And I Loved It. Probably It's A More Valuable Film Now Than When It First Came Out, Because Some Of The Things It Stood For Have Already Disappeared. There's A Kind Of Naive Loveliness About It, And Love Goes By So Fast ... Love And Music And Happiness And Family, That's What It's All About. I Believe In These Things. It Would Be Awful Not To, Wouldn't It?

I Think It's The Essence Of Any Film And Any Stage Production - Any Work Where You Do Work With Other People - Of Course Collaboration Is Hugely Important. One Does For Awhile Become Family.

These Days, People Like Me Who Are In The Arts Are Perceived As Celebrity Writers. That Really Makes Me Angry Because I Expend A Great Deal Of Effort And Spend An Enormous Amount Of Time On My Books. And I've Been Writing Now For 35 Years.

I Work Out As Little As I Can For As Much Gain As I Can. Yoga And A Little Bit Of Ballet -- Only 30 Or 40 Minutes Every Other Day. I Keep Supple For Myself More Than For Roles.

Miracles Are Happening Every Day. I Do Think That's True. If You Can Take The Time To Look. It Took Me A While To Learn That, Though Some Children Know It Instinctively And They Do Have Wonder When They Are Kids. But The Trouble Is, As We Grow Older, We Lose It.
