More From Nikki Giovanni

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you

There's a point i can get to where i start writing character and then through the dialogue, after all of this preparation, the thing starts to feel like it's a character developing through the dialogue. a lot of character traits do come from writing dialogue, but i have to be ready to do it.
Writing Character Preparation
Very, that show is crazy. it was like doing finals every week. it was interesting. i really learned a lot. the dialogue is so technical. i was so impressed watching the other actors and how they managed, so i studied them. and i was blown away thinking: "how do they do that? how do they put that extra spin on the complicated dialogue to make it interesting?

Chris [ nolan] and i have a strange way of working from the non-movie process, where after all these conversations and reading the script and more conversations, chris went out and shot the films and the first thing he did, he wouldn't show it to me until i had written the music - not out of meanness, or anything, it just sort of seemed an interesting idea to see if there was some synchronicity and letting me use my imagination to the fullest instead of being constricted by cuts and images.
Reading Cutting Ideas
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

I always felt that i was born in the wrong era. i wanted to be friends with john garfield, for instance. he was one of the only actors that refused to testify in front of the house un-american activities committee back when the hollywood ten blacklist was happening in the mccarthy period. i wish i could've been friends with charlie parker and played with him. that's my period. i feel real close to the '40s - and actually i was born in '37, so i was a kid singing on the radio in the '40s. but i always dreamed of going to big cities.

Kings do with men as with pieces of money; they give them what value they please, and we are obliged to receive them at their current and not at their real value.

What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. we suffer for nothing. our own death wish is our only real tragedy.
