Gratitude & Diane Weist -

First off - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

God. I saw the film "Last Night" tonight starring Keira Knightly, Sam Worthington, Eva Mendes & Guillame Canet. I loved it - was all about this couple who end up cheating on each other in one way or another and brings up a lot of "what would you do's" for anyone watching that is in a relationship. Or not.

If you leave a theater debating it with whoever you went with - that's the sign of a really good movie. Pushing boundaries, raising questions.

I left the theater really excited. God, I love films. I love being a part of filmmaking. I really really do and I am so friggin glad that I get to do this. I love telling stories, I love exploring ideas/topics, I love stretching myself, exposing & scaring myself, stretching those around me....

I read a book once called "Actors at Work" - and the interview with the great actress Diane Weist was adorable (as is she). She talked about how after one of her first plays when she was younger - she was so in love with performing....that after the show was over she stood behind the stage curtain and begged the higher powers to let her always get to do this, please please please!! However she can, whatever it takes. PLEASE!

I know exactly how she feels. And I thank my lucky, determined little stars for that!
