Really enjoyed this interview of Diane Keaton with Jon Stewart.  I just love her presence in reality and films.  It struck a chord especially because they talk about Woody Allen at the end. ;)

Woody versus Warren?  Tough choice, but I think I know who I’d pick.  ;)

Just added Splendor in the Grass to my Netflix queue - hope I don’t regret it…

On a more serious note, Diane talks about her relationship with her mother and how she had only known her mother in relation to herself.  Parents usually think of their kids as extensions of themselves, however, it really is the other way around.  It’s odd how we forget that our parents once had lives just like us; that they are and were individuals before we came along.  All we are exposed to in terms of who they are is them in a family-life setting (whether it be a conventional one or not) and the role they play as our keepers. It’s comforting to think of  a time when my parents were not so connected to their children/marriage/family-life that they had their own egos outside of myself and my sisters.  I wish they had held onto that ego in a healthier manner.
