String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars; from the primordial fireball of the big bang to the majestic swirl of heavenly galaxies - are reflections of one, grand physical principle, one master equation.
I wrote and directed a movie called 'Two-Bit Waltz.'
For years after 'The Last Waltz,' I got all kinds of silly movie offers - or, maybe, not silly, but parts that are not my calling... lots of offers to play some wonderful boyfriend.
The truth is, I've been lucky. But just like the waltz, life has its own rhythm of rise and fall.
My most difficult thing so far, to be brutally honest, has been to waltz as if I knew what I was doing.
The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.
It is a real piece of art if you can make a waltz sound like it is the easiest piece of music to play, because it's really not.
I began to write a kind of waltz and in a little more than an hour I had the theme written.
It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.
The message films that try to be message films always fail. Likewise with documentaries. The documentaries that work best are the ones that eschew a simple message for an odd angle. I found that one of the most spectacular films about the Middle East was 'Waltz With Bashir,' or 'The Gatekeepers,' or '5 Broken Cameras.'
