Well I spent the rest of this week at education week. It was great to attend so many classes and learn so much. I am off to Salt Lake tonight to be with my sister's family and then next Wedensday I am visiting my dear friend Jen in California. Fun. Fun. I hope I can get some blogging in, but if not... it might be a week or more.

In the mean time some great quotes from Emma Thompson. I can get on her boat.

Acting simply cannot be about how you look. It would be very difficult to make a film where you have to be beautiful in every shot. You have to put so much effort into it; you have to hold your head at particular angles, put the light in a certain way and I don't like acting like that. I like to act unconscious of how I look.

I mind having to look pretty, that's what I mind, because it is so much more of an effort.

I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch." -- on her role in the Harry Potter film.
