Notes

  • Mike Tyson interview
    • Talking about fights and just genreal stuff. I think its important to understand and listen to people like Tyson
    • I think it deserves respect what he came through. To frown upon it is not to understand the situations of some people in the world
    • My feeling is that Tyson is a complete exception to people of his background. Almost like he’s somewhat survived it and its important to hear what he has to say, to learn.
    • He’s also seems in a constant struggle, which is real. I think often times we’re afraid to face the reality of people, of ourselves. That we’re constantly struggling and changing, we’re not perfect.
    • Seems to identify with historical figures (like Pepin)
    • “History allows us to meet the future rather than foretell it” - Mike Tyson
    • The past is us in funny clothes
  • Werner Herzog profile NY
    • ”For a man of his age, it’s a very … raw talent. It’s more like an eighteen-year-old running into the forest.” A costume designer complained, “He doesn’t know basic things about filmmaking, things that simply make it easier to tell a story. He thinks that these things will undermine his vision, but they won’t.”
    • Maybe a push to do your own thing
