Heinali and Matt Finney - Ain’t No Night
come from nowhere with nothing to offer
on repeat.
I’d just come out the other side of a relationship that blew up
I was angry, and disillusioned, and ultimately self-destructive.
I’d lost everything I believed in
I was as utterly, completely alone as I’ve ever been.
So I began going on walks.
Spotlight on: Actress Zhang Ziyi, the Chinese screen actress who starred in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers and as Chiyo/Sayuri in Memoirs of a Geisha.
In a 2006 interview with Interview magazine, Zhang Ziyi said:
‘I could have done a lot of Hollywood movies. After Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon I got a lot of offers, but I turned them down because they were all victim roles—poor girls sold to America to be a wife or whatever. I know I have the ability to go deeper, to take on more original roles than that. That’s why I really appreciated Geisha, because it allowed us to show the world what kind of actors we are and what kind of characters we can play—not just action, kick-ass parts.’

Some of the books I shall be reading this summer.
Really looking forward to reading The Berlin Novels in particular.
