“Because I think a lot of people are familiar with you know, pop stars have these alter egos on stage and then they're also a little bit potentially different behind the scenes. Can you talk about what the difference is between those two personas?” ROSÉ: I think, you know, like I started off as, my whole career started as Blackpink and I feel like it was so much fun creating this character on stage because I'm just from like Australia, like in my bedroom, but like it was so much fun creating this like pop star, like character. It was so much fun. And then I think creating my first solo album, it was my discover of like, you know, who am I? And like when I was naming the album, I really thought a lot about it. There was like options like, you know, number one girl. And then a lot of people did like, what about Rosie? And at first I was like, it seems a bit like narcissistic. I'm not sure. And then it slowly grew on me. And then, you know, just the idea of it being Rosie because Rosé has been such a big part of my life. And that's what we present ourselves as Blackpink, Blackpink Rosé. And I felt like this was very opposite. And so I noticed that it was closer to kind of introducing a different version of me, like because it combined all the stories I would talk about with my friends and family. And they call me Rosie at home. And of course, the online name that the company had made for me from at the beginning of Blackpink, I remember when it happened was like the day before they released my picture, profile picture, they were like, Rosé. And like the name got announced.

Bernardo Bertolucci on the advantage TV shows have over movies, his favourite TV shows & love for "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013): 1.) Bertolucci: I find inspiration in American TV series. Every series that Hollywood makes. Interviewer: Really? What shows do you enjoy? Bertolucci: You know, what everybody enjoys. The great ones. 'Mad Men' (2007-15), 'Breaking Bad' (2008-13). But I like also TV series which are minor. Not as big, theme-wise. I love the humble TV series. Maybe I like the fact that the story is stretched and stretched and stretched and never ends. I like 'Rubicon' (2010). They did one season. It wasn’t successful, so they ki!!ed it. I even love things like 'The Walking Dead' (2010-22). Interviewer: Setting the look and feel. One particular strength of a TV series: they let stories breathe. As in Apted or Linklater, you’re able to see characters age. Bertolucci: It’s wonderful! You see characters aging. You know what I love in TV series? That they can have the luxury of staying on face, on a close-up of a character, for 50 seconds. One minute! Nothing happens! Like the way it used to be in cinema. They have re-conquered time. Now, in cinema there is a convention now that all movies have to be fast. In a series, you don’t have that. It’s a great luxury. It’s very much like cinema used to be in the past, in a way." 2.) "The best work being done now is for television, 'Breaking Bad' – a masterpiece. 'House of Cards' (2013-18) – very, very good" 3.) My generation had an affair with American culture, there’s no doubt about it. A street lamp and a fire hydrant made me sing in the rain. But the American films I like now do not come from Hollywood studios but from television series, like ‘Mad Men,’ ‘Breaking Bad,’ ‘The Americans’ (2013-2018) “I like when they last 13 episodes but then there is a new series coming with another 13 episodes,” Bertolucci said, laughing, comparing them to novels printed in installments in 19th century newspapers. “Apart from a few independent productions, I think that everything that comes from Hollywood is generally sad. It makes me very sad." 4.) "I'm sad about 'Breaking Bad' ending. I want more." Source for the quotes: (1. "Even Making a Cup of Tea is Erotic: Bernardo Bertolucci on Me and You", John Magary, Filmmaker, 2014. 2. "Bernardo Bertolucci on butter, Brando, and being burned by Hollywood", John Preston, The Telegraph, 2018 3.

"I like 'Kiss Me Deadly' (1955) very much. I just don't think it was as important a film as some people thought it was." --- Robert Aldrich Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: We all like 'Kiss Me Deadly' (1955), but hear that you don't. Aldrich: Oh no, that's not true. I like this one very much and I'm very proud of it. If you remember when it was made was the time all the New Wave directors were editors on Cahiers. And they read into it many more things than were intended. And I think it was Truffaut who asked me at Venice the following year if I wasn't proud and happy or something about the things that Cahiers had said about it. And I am a lot older and wiser now, and I suppose I should have said "Yes" and let it go at that. But I said something to the effect that I was very glad they said it, but I couldn't really take credit for all those rather deep and significant thoughts because they weren't all intended. I am glad that they were there; maybe some of them were subconscious, but I thought a lot of them were read in. And naturally, if you had been the author of this kind of thing, you would have felt a little bit cheated, and I think they did. I think they didn't resent it, but they felt a little hurt . . . No, I like the picture very much. I just don't think it was as important a film as some people thought it was." (Robert Aldrich's interview with Ian Cameron & Mark Shivas, 1963) P.S: On this day, 71 years ago "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955) premiered in New York City, USA.

youngjae shared his side of the ring story and he said he was deeply touched by the gesture and has worn the swapped ring ever since. 🐶: the story about the birthday gift (the ring) here's what actually happened. it was the day we visited the hyundai event. i think hanjin and i were waiting either in the car or somewhere else after we all had ice cream together. i don't remember the details very clearly. after that shinyu and jihoon said “since we're here, let's stop by the chrome hearts store for a bit.” while looking at the rings, shinyu suddenly remembered that i wasn't wearing mine. i think he recalled that i had said it was too big because the size had been bought incorrectly. later that day, after we got back to the dorm we had gone to japan and returned the same day shinyu hyung called me over. he said, “youngjae, come here for a second.” i asked, “why?” then he held up the ring and asked, “this is your ring, right?” i said “yes” thhen he said, “I bought one too, but yours is too big, isn't it? if you're okay with it, do you want to swap with me? i think i can wear this one on any finger, so let's exchange.” i was really grateful, i said, “hyung, thank you really, thank you so much.” from then on, i kept wearing the ring. i was genuinely touched. i remember thinking, “as expected, our tws leader is the best leader.” i was honestly so surprised and just kept thanking him. shinyu later shared this story himself. (during the cheotsarangz live) i had actually been intentionally keeping it to myself because i thought shinyu was a little embarrassed about it. i figured i'd tell the story later if we ever did a livestream together or something. i don't remember exactly, but i think shinyu said something like, “it would've been nice if youngjae had been the one to tell the story.” lr at least it was something along those lines. i can't remember his exact words so that's it.

Samuel L. Jackson explains how he landed the role of Jules in Pulp Fiction, and what it was like seeing the film for the first time on the big screen: “Pulp Fiction and I came together in a very strange kind of way. I remember auditioning for Quentin for Reservoir Dogs in New York (for the role of of Detective Jim Holdaway, Mr. Orange’s police contact). And apparently I didn't get that role. But I was at Sundance the year that he screened it for the first time. I was sitting there and I watched that movie - I was awed by it. I mean, there were people running up the aisles when Michael Madsen was cutting the cop's ear off. People were going, "Oh my God, this is horrible!" All these “auteurs” were running out of the theatre. I was like, "This is good. This is happening. This is different." So after the film, I walked up to Quentin and said, "This film's amazing, man. It's great." And he looked at me and said, "Hey! How'd you like the guy who got your part?" And I was amazed that he even remembered who I was - but he remembered me. A year or so later, I got a phone call saying Quentin Tarantino wants to have dinner with you, because he'd seen Jungle Fever and he liked that Gator character. When we had dinner, we were sitting there talking. We started talking about Hong Kong films and cartoons and foreign movies and obscure things that we watched, horror movies. We found out we liked the same kind of stuff. And he told me he was writing this thing, and he was writing this part with me in mind. He was going to send it to me. I went off to do another film. I was in the backwoods of Virginia somewhere doing a film, and the script came. A little plain brown wrapper from Jersey Films. And Jersey's got these gangster images on the logo. And it said, "If you show this script to anybody, two guys named Ernie and Luigi will come and break both of your legs." Whatever. I went, "Yeah, right." So I sat down and read it. Boom. I read this thing. It's like, "Oh my God. This is awesome." And then I said to myself, "Nobody writes a script this good. There's no way that this script is as good as I thought it was." I closed it. I opened it again. I read it immediately. Okay. This is great - If whoever produces this film lets him shoot exactly what I just read, if they stay away from it, they don't try to edit any of this stuff out - this is going to be a great film. It's going to be kind of audience-specific, because I like that kind of stuff. I have friends that I knew would like it. It was a generational kind of film. I never thought it would cross over and do all this stuff. We shot it. We had a great time doing it. And the first time I actually saw the film was at the Cannes Film Festival. That night, it screened, and I was sitting there watching the film. The audience was loving this movie, loving it. About halfway through, I realized there were subtitles at the bottom of it. So I said, "Hey, these people are reading it, and they're getting it. This might be special. This really might be something special." And actually, by the time it was over, there were tears running down my face. I was just so pleased that I was part of that particular film… I never felt that satisfied, and that kind of full about a performance and about being part of something as I was in that particular moment.” Quote comes from an Interview with the American Film Institute 2010

Kevin Costner recounts the exact moment he knew he’d made it as a Hollywood star. Howard Stern: “How many years were there from when you, let’s say, graduated high school?” Kevin Costner: “Probably six or seven years. I was just knocking around, taking odd jobs, auditioning for things, and constantly getting rejected.” “People always ask, ‘What was your moment? What was your big break?’” “It’s really clear to me. I knew when I got the job in The Big Chill. Not what happened later, not getting cut out of the movie. I’m saying when I got the job. I was driving home on the freeway, and I knew it had happened for me.” Howard Stern: “It’s so funny because The Big Chill is the movie where you’re the guy who got cut out.” Kevin Costner: “But it had already happened for me, right? I was on the freeway, and I didn’t care anymore what happened after that. I knew I was in the right room, with the right guy, with the right people. I knew it was on. Not when the movie came out. I knew it was on the day I left the audition with the part.” Howard Stern: “That was the day you said to yourself, ‘I’m an actor.’” Kevin Costner: “That’s exactly right. Wally Niesita was the casting director, and she had such a force of will. She helped me with Lawrence Kasdan. But people only look at the obvious. If you want to ask when the moment was, it was really two moments. The moment I decided I wasn’t going to worry anymore about what people thought of me, and I wasn’t going to let my parents’ worries define my life. I didn’t care. They were going to catch up with my life. That was the first moment. The second was driving home after getting The Big Chill. Those were the two most important moments of my life.”

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

🎥| “What's your highlight of being a Doncaster fan?” Louis Tomlinson: It probably means more in my in my adult life, to be honest. Um, I think you know, I think a big part of that for me was moving away from Doncaster and really missing my town. So, a way of kind of still staying connected with them and keeping me love and passion for the town, I suppose that it it's kind of just the obvious thing to be a big fan of where you're from, you know? Um, there's definitely some great moments growing up, but as I said, you know, th- there's not a lot of Donny fans in Doncaster, so, which is kind of crazy. There's a lot of big clubs near us. Two big Sheffield clubs, yourselves... Um, so, yeah, it definitely it definitely wasn't like the most attractive attractive prospect at school. There wasn't that many Donny fans, but we went on an amazing cup run. We beat Man City before they had all that money, which was amazing. We went out on penalties to Arsenal. I remember being there. And that was the first moment, I think, where I'd really attached emotion to football. I remember going home like absolutely devastated, like I'd just been finished by my girlfriend at the time. Just absolutely mortified, and I think it wasn't really until that moment that I really understood, you know, like, especially the emotions involved, and and especially a small club, that would have meant the world to us to win it. Obviously, I'm still talking about it now. But that's what it's all about with these smaller clubs. It's the cup runs. That's all you got to celebrate, really. We've had some playoff moments that were great as well, but I wasn't lucky enough to be at any of those games. So, for me, it was more about the cups growing up.” 🔗
