I was satisfied with haiku until I met you,

but now I want a Russian novel,
a 50-page description of you sleeping.

My life has been a family affair for the past nine years and they healed me and have walked me back out into the real world by simply validating my passions.

Photos like this make me step back into the slower moving stream of family, inside my home, inside my world, not out in that horrible honking speeding cursing world in which I have chosen to raise my children when we are not in our home. It reminds me that I need to continue to try to make our home that slow paced place and not buy into the pace of the outside world.

"Casting Mara, says Fincher, “wasn’t about finding someone who would comply. What I was smitten with, from about the third screen test of the five or six we did, was that this was a person I could turn this over to. I could say to her, ‘Here are the most annoying marbles that you need to keep rattling around in your skull. Now go—make it hurt, make it unfathomable, don’t articulate it, don’t use any of an actor’s greatest tricks or natural tools to build a bridge to the audience. Not even eye contact.’"

At that point I was just super frustrated. I was like, ‘You have to decide. Either you think I’m the girl or you don’t. There’s not much more I can do to prove it to you.’ I went in there sort of ready to fight. I was pissed. But David sat me down and gave me this long speech about the part. Then he handed me his iPad, and it had the press release on it. He said, “I’m prepared to send this out. You have half an hour to let me know if you want the part.”

“Nazis and serial killers and the evil that people do in their basements with power tools is not that interesting to me,” Fincher says of some of the plot twists that emerge about halfway into his film’s 148-minute running time. “First and foremost, I hadn’t seen this kind of partnership before,” he says of Blomkvist and Salander. “I like the thriller aspect, but I’m more interested in them as people.”
