More From Anne Rice

Every time i look down on this timeless town whether blue or gray be her skies. whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears, more and more do i realize: i love paris in the springtime. i love paris in the fall. i love paris in the winter when it drizzles, i love paris in the summer when it sizzles. i love paris every moment, every moment of the year. i love paris, why, oh why do i love paris? because my love is near.
Summer Cheer Fall
She bent her finger and then straightened it. the mystery was in the instant before it moved, the dividing moment between not moving and moving, when her intention took effect. it was like a wave breaking. if she could only find herself at the crest, she thought, she might find the secret of herself, that part of her that was really in charge. she brought her forefinger closer to her face and stared at it, urging it to move. it remained still because she was pretending... . and when she did crook it finally, the action seemed to start in the finger itself, not in some part of her mind.

She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.
Smart Stupid Cat
I went and looked at one of these great cathedrals one day, and i was blown away by it. from there i became interested in how cathedrals were built, and from there i became interested in the society that built the medieval cathedral. it occurred to me at some point that the story of the building of a cathedral could be a great popular novel.

I realized that here's a moment for me to learn so until i learn and understand more about how types of films are done - action, sci-fi - even though i have a desire to do it, i won't go into it until i'm very clear that i can do it and that moment hasn't come yet. maybe one day i will ready, but for now, i just enjoyed playing the character.
