Heartworn Highways (1975) by James Szalapski “So I went down there and stayed with him [Skinny Dennis] and then just met the people that he knew, Guy [Clark] and Townes Van Zandt. He dragged me over to see David Allan Coe who was kind of very different from them, more outrageous, you know. He’s like the biker. And Townes is the poet and Guy is like [the] superb craftsman/writer…” - James Szalapski

Heartworn Highways (1975) by James Szalapski   “Well, by the early seventies Nashville had sort of become very rigid. All the songs were sounding the same, they just turned out product like crazy and they kept country music in a narrow defined range. But the young guys wanted to do something different. A lot of them had gone through the sixties and had experienced the whole explosion in rock and pop music and wanted open it up a little bit. “LA Freeway” is kind of an anthem for these guys; they went to places like LA and New York and, and discovered it wasn’t where they belonged. Their roots were in the South and they had an emotional connection to their grandparent’s generation there. But when they came back to Nashville and to Austin, Texas they brought back with them the electric guitars and the raw sound of their own generation. But the music they were making connected more to a generation older than the one in place in Nashville.” - James Szalapski

Amour (2012) by Michael Haneke “In the case of Emmanuelle Riva, I was captivated – along with so many men – by her performance in Alain Resnais’s “Hiroshima Mon Amour” (1959).” - Michael Haneke “The dream sequence is there because I needed to find some way to move away from the stark realism of the first part of the film… You have, for example, the moment when he hears her playing the piano. So it was necessary to bring the audience to a more spiritual level…“ - Michael Haneke

Amour (2012) by Michael Haneke “It’s a question of timing, also of modesty. These paintings give a certain mental impression that allows us to live with this situation that we’ve seen. In the beginning, there’s something similar: When Anne has the accident with the tea, there are these wide shots of the empty apartment. Then later you have these empty landscape paintings. There’s a correspondence.” - Michael Haneke

Amour (2012) by Michael Haneke “People always fight to maintain their dignity, and the more difficult the situation you’re in, the bigger the battle. That’s our fate as humans, regardless of age. Every individual is confronted with the question of how much of their dignity they’re prepared to give up, or the extent to which they’ll fight against it.” - Michael Haneke
