Movie Favorite

"For some reason. I think the combination of the gruff, tyrannical old man pursuing the unruly, rebellious son really appeals to me. The scenario is, in some odd way, almost as scary as Freddy Krueger, you know! The evil father is an idea that’s really fascinating to me. Hawks is great, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Big Sleep… He could do the Salt-of-the-Earth very well. He was a very smooth director; a very good film architect in terms of his storytelling. That’s how he constructed this film, and got so deep into the characters."

Book Favorite

"One of my all-time favorite books that’s always by my nightstand. I regularly read a few pages of it before going to sleep. Marcus Aurelius was the emperor of Rome for 19 years and a Stoic philosopher who can teach us all how to find the eye of the hurricane in the middle of our hectic and stressful lives. There’s so much wisdom on every page, you can just let the book fall open — he was an emperor, after all, so let him choose — and find something that will be meaningful for whatever you’re facing that day."
