The Devil Wears Prada

T-vitamiin: Tahad kuulda minu kui moekunstniku arvamust?..Mulle ei meeldi inimesed koledate juuste ja paksu persega.


Miranda Priestly
: [Miranda and some assistants are deciding between two similar belts for an outfit. Andy sniggers because she thinks they look exactly the same] Something funny?
Andy Sachs: No, no, nothing. Y'know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me. Y'know, I'm still learning about all this stuff.
Miranda Priestly: This... 'stuff'? Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's actually cerulean. You're also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff.

Pidu sinus eneses

Kui sul elus on vedanud ja sa oled noore mehena elanud Pariisis, siis jääb ta sinuga, kus sa ka oma ülejäänud elupäevad veedad, sest Pariisis on pidu sinus eneses. Ernest Hemingway ühele sõbrale, 1950 Pariisile ei tule iial lõppu, ja iga inimene, kes seal on elanud, meenutab teda omamoodi. Me pöördusime alati sinna tagasi, ükskõik, kes me olime, ükskõik, kuidas Pariis oli muutunud, ükskõik, kui raske või kui kerge sinna oli pääseda. Pariis oli alati seda väärt ja ta tasus sulle kõige eest, mida sa talle iganes andsid. Ent selline oli Pariis nendel ammustel päevadel, kui me olime väga vaesed ja väga õnnelikud. Pidu sinus eneses, Ernest Hemingway

drawing

/---/ If you took a bunch of kids and taught them to play the violin at the age of 4 or 5 after a couple of years some of them developed perfect pitch, and in all of those cases their brain structure had changed. /---/ I believe drawing changes the brain in the same way as the search to create the right note changes the brain of a violinist. Drawing also makes you attentive. It makes you pay attention to what you are looking at, which is not so easy.
