What I can do is find the keys that will plug into my own 30 years of training in Buddhism, and find things that are parallel or resonant in the work that I have done.
This is an outrage. There are no freedoms in China. There are no freedoms in Tibet.
I thought it was an interesting ensemble of characters, all of them searching in their own bumbling way, like we all do, searching for God. I hadn't seen that movie before.
I'm totally shocked. I never win anything. And I didn't even want to do this movie!
I had the sense he was covering hysteria.
People's reaction to opera the first time they hear it is extreme, ... They either love it or they hate it. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don't, they may learn to love it, but it will never become part of their soul.
