events hand happen operating people raised rooms submit touch
I would submit to you that, yes, these events did happen in operating rooms with other people in the room. Do you think that Mr. Aubin raised his hand and said, 'Look guys, look what I'm going to do now. I'm going to touch them'?

just as soon as they send us the equipment we're hoping in about a month.

When I first started acting, and we would all sit down and talk about Shakespeare and how great it was, I thought well, I suppose it is.
born came childhood conclusion difficult found mentality mid point quite repressed society somehow sort survive
I had quite a repressed childhood. I was born in '55 and by the mid '60s it was still very much a sort of '50s mentality there, being so remote. I just found it stifling. And at some point - I think I was about 12 - I came to the conclusion that it was going to be difficult to survive that little society somehow intact.

mother hurt memories
Lorna was quite young when her mother died, and I think she's blocked out some of the memories. I talked to her a little bit about that, but I wasn't prepared to go around and poke and hurt her.
father pride gay
Judy Garland's father was gay. That seems to be the consensus. They left Minnesota and went to California because he got caught with some boy backstage.
sexy country men
It's not a country of articulate people, sophisticated people. There's too little subtlety. Men and women don't enjoy each other very much in Australia. I don't find very many men sexy in Australia. Of course, I'm married and out of it, but still.
