Movie Quote:
“Girls, when I met you you were doing all country and western thing and that's fine -- we all make mistakes. But here is what we learn from that mistake. Country and western music is about loss. Soul music is also about loss. But the difference is in country and western music, they've lost, they've given up and they are just all whining about it. In soul music they are struggling to get it back, they haven't given up.-- Dave Lovelace (Chris O'Dowd) in "The Sapphires"Recent TWEETS

"“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” Sam Riley, speaking the words of Jack Kerouac in "On the Road" (2012)FREE MOVIES
