You know these questionnaires you find on the web...I found one and had quite fun filling it...
Name a book you want to share so much that you give away copies...
A country year, living the questions by Sue Hubbell...so simple, so true, so woman like, so deep, so comforting...it must be so great to be her friend...a perfect book for getting old women, looking for their truth...Beautiful to read several times...then you have it on your bedside table or your bag, and when you've get five minutes you just open it at any page, and find a question ...or an answer...
Name a piece of music that changed the way you listen to music...
I am a woman of 1968's...back to nature, all that sort of things...so when I gave birth to my son, it was with music: Apocalypse des animaux from Vangélis Papathanassiou...such powerful music, helps you to concentrate, to relax, gives you strength...now when I listen to that type of music it gives me peace and energy...it's part of my life...music is life...
Name a film you can watch again and again without fatigue...
The bridges of Madison...the story is so sensitive, deep, true...no fussy words...nothing too much...that woman is so much in love with her husband...he's part of her life...but that photograph is part of her dream...we need a strong love to go on living day after day, educate children, work, ..but we do need dreams and secret loves to survive everyday routine and stress...even if you're so much in love with the man you live with, there's in you a place, a need for dream...
Name a performer for whom you you suspend all disbelief...
I must say I don't quite understand the end of the sentence...but I can tell you I do love Sean Connery, the political man and the performer...but now, not when he was young, much sexier now!!!he 's so handsome when he wears quilt!!!
Name a work of art you'd like to live with...
statues from Nikki Saint Phalle, the big Nanas, are so colourful and joyful, all statues made by women when they are round, full of flesh and life...
a dress made by Christian Lacroix, so full of colours, embroiederings,laces...beautiful work you appreciate when you like sewing...
Name a work of fiction which has penetrated your real life...
Certainly Little women by Louisa May Alcott, especially Joe her books, her copy-books and her personnality...and all books by Colette...when I was 17 somebody at school told me not to read Colette...not serious books, who might give young girls bad ideas because of homosexuality...I was so crossed that I decided to read everything about her and I did...that's also a writer to keep in your pocket from « Claudine » to « the birth of day »...
Name a punch line that always makes you laugh...
don't know any in English...
but I love this quote from Bob Hope:
« People who throw kisses are mightyhoplessely lazy... »

I am thinking about how to go large with my sculpture (I am untrained in the how of this) - I had to click over and check out Nikki Saint Phalle - thanks for passing along her name. What joyous work! and BIG. Inspiring.
