Last Chance Harvey

You know I think I'm more comfortable with being disappointed. I think I'm angry at you for trying to take that away.

Finding Forrester

Do you know what people are most afraid of? What they can't understand, and when they can't understand. They turn to assumption.

Never Let Me Go

I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since my childhood is washed out. I tell myself, if that were true, and I waited long enough then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave. And maybe call. I don't know if the fantasy go beyond that, I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I'm not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The only real failure,
is the failure to try.
And the measure of success,
is how we cope with disappointment.
As we always must.
We came here and we tried.
All of us in our own different ways.
Can we be blamed for feeling that we are too old to change?
Too scared of disappointment to start it all again?
We get up in the morning.
We do our best.
Nothing else matters.

Going Down in LA-LA Land

I'm going down down down in la la land tonight...
Where the jungle is concrete, the streets are alive
And people will do anything to survive
I'm going down down down in la la land tonight...
