...while Castelli may be an extraordinary talent, there is far more to her personality than a simple desire to perform. "I'd get bored if all I had to talk about was music," she says. "There's much more to life than just music, and I know that. I'm a person before I'm a musician...
There are the new habits you've picked up at college that, although completely commonplace in a university setting, may seem a little strange when taken in the context of normal home life.

Aside from this last disaster Richardson is tolerable, providing a cool presence in the earlier scenes and wearing noticeably patterned floor-sweeping dresses that always seems about...
