Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.

Catherine Deneuve

Judy Holliday

Embrace the cracks in your life and the breaks in your heart as places into which divine light can shine.

Iyanla Vanzant

If you cannot learn to love real art at least learn to hate sham art.

William Morris

Mark Twain
