It’s been a lazy Sunday so far. First slept for 10 (!) hours. Then breakfast and a little biking tour around the lake in my hometown. Now a coctail on the balcony and reading an interior design magazine. Later dinner at a friend’s place.

Wow, that’s scary. A whole building (13 story) tumbled over. In Shanghai. Imagine living there and suddenly you and all your stuff are down on the ground. Luckily nobody was living in this building. I would be very worried though if I was living in the neighbouring buildings!

“Did anyone really know Michael Jackson? Ever really see him? Or did we set up another person as a god, and ultimately destroy them?”

It’s always good to read this kind of remark about some people’s reaction on showing love instead of violence.

“Everything changes as you get older — your mind, your body, the way you view the world. For example the scenes I did with [director Pedro] Almodovar in the 80’s were very tough to play at the time it was not common for actors to play gay. Many actors thought that if you played those scenes, everybody would identify you with that role…I felt very early on in my professional life that where there were limits, there shouldn’t have been limits. I remember in ‘Law of Desire,’ where I played a homosexual, that people were more upset that I kissed a man on the mouth than I killed a man. It’s interesting to see how people can pardon you for murdering a man, but they can’t pardon you for kissing one. It’s a very interesting approach to morality in our days, so you see there is an incredible amount of hypocritical judgment over those things.”
