BONS MOTS: I never thought I’d use this class in real life
Just ran across these bons mots from Nicole Kidman about how her training in mime finally came in handy:
You think it’s ludicrous… ‘I’ll never be using this.’ And, suddenly, I have to pretend I have a golden monkey.
From USA Today’s article on The Golden Compass and its daemons.
I love that most people think they’re never going to use quadratic equations. And they’re right.
Although I was disappointed with the film, I wasn’t with the casting or performance of Miss Kidman.
She was amazingly perfect.
The author of the novel, Phillip Pullman, said of the casting of a blond vs. the black haired Mrs. Coulter of his novels:
I was clearly wrong. You sometimes are wrong about your characters. She’s blonde. She has to be.
