"Kiarostami was one of the greatest directors. I’m really attracted to films that play with the contrast between reality and fiction, and this is maybe the best example of the mix of the two. How that mix develops over the course of the movie is a revelation. It’s also a very touching portrait of someone who wants to be a part of art—how he isn’t part of it but then becomes part of it."

"This just reentered my life. Always need an Ephron on the list. Love when one book can make you desperate to eat food and avoid men. She told us all to turn our pain into art and she knew of what she spoke. I wish she’d written more prose-fiction, but she was too busy changing the industry for women and cooking ornate meals and telling us all how to handle our hair."

"This has been a cult novel in Sweden ever since it was published in 1980, and has to some degree been discovered in Norway, too. It steals from both the classics and pulp fiction and has this couldn’t-care-less-attitude combined with literary talent that reminds me of Jim Carrol's “Basketball Diaries.” Both have this special sense of time and place that makes you want to move to Stockholm or New York."
