The scenes in 'The Virgin Suicides' where Elle Fanning is ice skating are really amazing.
My dad always used to encourage me to dress weird.
When I was younger, I was a rave kid trapped inside a singer/songwriter's body. But I kind of figured my way out because I started making these really terrible beats on this Yamaha keyboard that my pa...
I used to worry about being cool. Now I realize that I genuinely don't care.
