...Neatest trick of the awards season: The HFPA found a way to nominate Clint Eastwood twice in a year when he didn't make a movie. He wrote the score for Grace Is Gone, and the music for the title song, and got nominated for both. Way to fluff up the guest list, guys...

I use it when I want to encourage the sense of awe. That’s what you can say about my work; I’m interested in wonder and awe, and I think we’re losing that—I’m tired of talking. You can listen to my tape, no more talking...
