Being Heard

Movies can hold such power when they're executed the right way. When the music has the right emotion, the actors have the right personality, the setting has the right color, and the plot has the right depth.

There are many ways to communicate with people. Television is one of the many along with books, song, dance, art, theater, and so much more. I guess one of the reasons I'm so into all these various outlets is because I want to communicate. I want to let people see through my eyes, as I hope that my view has some value or intellectual impact.

The reason I quit such things as gymnastics, horseback riding and skating was because in those events the whole point is to be judged on how you look, how you're seen. But I don't need to be seen, I need to be heard. That's why I write and sing, I want people to here my message whether it's through art and clothes or words and notes.

Maybe because I want to be an artist, I've tried to communicate in other ways, that when I read a book or see a movie it affects me in a greater depth then it effects some others. But I appreciate this depth in the way that it makes me think when I watch ovies, not just stare blankly at the screen.
