More From Tom Hooper

When the spirit came to moses, the plagues came upon egypt, and he had power to destroy men's lives; when the spirit came upon elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the spirit came upon gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon joshua, he moved around the city of jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the spirit came upon the son of man, he gave his life; he healed the broken-hearted.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

I always had a sense of people and would talk with them. i talk to my doorman. i talk to everybody i work with. i enjoy it. i like being part of a real life. i love dreams. i love glamour. i love being invited to great places. but i don't really care if i go, as long as i'm invited. i get invited to so many things, but i'd rather go have a hamburger or see a movie.

Dream Thieves
The phenomenon of dreaming ... helped to build up the notion of an unreal or spiritual world; and in general, all the conditions of savage dawn-life so strongly conduced toward a feeling of the supernatural, that we need not wonder at the thoroughness with which man's very hereditary essence has become saturated with religion and superstition.
