This is life's ultimate cruelty. It offers us a taste of youth and vitality, and then it makes us witness our own decay.
DEATH BECOMES HER (1992), dir. Robert Zemeckis
“One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You’re eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you. All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you… I’m curious about people. That’s the essence of my acting. I’m interested in what it would be like to be you.”
