My real name is David Jones
In September of 1967, aged 20 and yet to make much of an impression on the music scene, David Bowie was so enthused to receive his first American fan letter that he immediately typed out a reply from the office of his manager, Kenneth Pitt. The fan in question was 14-year-old Sandra Dodd, a young girl from New Mexico who had come to own a promotional copy of Bowie’s first album as a result of her uncle running a radio station. She was impressed and decided to write to Bowie, telling him his music was as good as that of The Beatles and then offering to start a fan club on his behalf.

“A message is like the nourishment that should be obtained from meals, but movies are a time for candy. It would be a problem if people spent all their time on candy while cutting out their meals, but I don’t think it’s necessary to get our calcium intake from candy. This is the way I try not to become arrogant, to think we are doing something truly extraordinary.”
Hayao Miyazaki, Starting Point 1979-1996
My Neighbor Totoro Directorial Memo: Satsuki
“She feels some inhibition about nestling up to and clinging to her mother, which her little sister Mei can still do. But she does like to have her mother stroke her unruly hair, and it is clear that her mother’s gratitude and affection are sources of support for Satsuki.
She secretly wishes she might become beautiful like her mother.”
-Hayao Miyazaki
