Have a good one. Karen

I heard a Salvador Dalí´s interview It was interesting but at the same time dificult because his accent was very heavy, he pronounced the words with the same sound like in spanish not with the correct pronunciation as in english.In the interwie he talked about hallucinatory land scape, about geology, and how in this rocks he put many kind of imagination, romantic imaginacion...he compared his mustache with Friedrich Nietzsche's moustache.He said the Nietzsche's moustache is a depresive moustache the cotrary of Dalí's moustache plenty of musical touch and romanticism...I understood something like that...Goelogy and his moustache have a special conection in his paranoic imagination.
The interview that I heard was with the famous naturalist David Attenborough. He talks about the begining of his career, that was in an expedition to Africa with the BBC and the London Zoo.
Also, he says that he likes to study birds, he made documentals filming the things that birds do and why they do it.
He gives 3 reasons to explain the importance of zoos: to preserve endangered animals, to investigate about animal life and to familiarize people who live in towns with wildlife. But he mentions that is very important to care for the conditions in wich zoo animals live.
And so on... he speaks about very interesting things. I recomend you to listen this interview.

I heard to Edson Arantes Nasiemento, and I discovered that "PELE" it's only his nick name. he got this nick name when he was youngest, about 9 year old. One day he was playing in the street and one boy called him "Pele", but he din't know if he had made a mistake, then the other boys started to laugh, and finally everybody called him "Pele".
He is the world's greatest player, and he acepted that, because he had the the luck to make goals that made him bigger than other one.
His best memory was the last world cup in Mexico, because the level of the teams was very high and the world cup was beautiful, it was his thirth world cup.
hi!!
I listened the interview with Andy Warhol, and it was pretty interesting hearing his voice and some of his thoughts about life, his art and Liza Minelli (?).
This great artist talked about the process of portrait painting; the colors, how important are they and how difficult can be finding the right ones.
Also he mentioned his favorite subjects (Jackie, Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minelli) and some of the reasons of repeating images in the same picture.
At the end, he just showed his point of view about life: he likes everybody but he doesn’t believe in feelings and emotions.
Well I heard an interview with Elisabeth Frink who was a sculptor.
She talked about her childhood, for example that some people said she was a tomboy because she never had a doll, she prefer guns for shutting animals, killed them and ate them. She grew up very fast probably because her father was away.
She had a very good time as a school artist at 15 years, she had a likely life at this time but she said that she had decided to be a painter instead of a sculptor.
She felt that making a sculpture was something absolutely exciting and that painting is more difficult to do.
Her main themes when she sculpt are animals and nude figures specially male ones.
hi karen, after a many troubles, i can. ana orozco
Mel Brook's films are best known for their slapstick and verbal humour. They include The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
He talks about himself, and he started with The Producers in the movies, but his carrer estarted in the radio with the us army
I was very interested in the painting process of Andy Warhol, so I chose his interview. It was really interesting because his intention was making people look "big simple", like a simple design. He used a Polaroid camera and he made at least 200 shots of the face of the person, like a passport portrait. Then, he turned the photo into a 40x40 in. B&W photo and used a silkscreen to paint. It's funny that he used artificial colours because he didn't know how to get flesh tones, but someday he would try to get these colours. At the end, he always found the right tones for the portrait.
The interview that I heard was with the novelist William Styron, who talks about the depression, he said that it is a psychic problem than can be felt like a fisical pain, he said that when you are drepressed you feel like in a really hot and suffocating room without scape or air. He also talks about the relation between alcohol, depression and writting, he said that the depression didn't make him went in alcohol it wasn't a reason, he said that his body reject the alcohol and became a time when he couldn't drink anymore and could release his creativity, he said that he had no idea about depression before happend to him, and he knew the realition betwen suicide and depression, he said tha the suicide is laike a game is "look at me", and the main idea of his book is to help people to face that kind of problems.
I listen to Susan Sontag, she speaks very clear, she use an easy vocabulary and she doesn´t speak so fast as others.
She feels her last book like if it was the first. She has thirty years writing. She say that “The Volcano Lover” define a time that she really likes, a special moment in that she wants to be and go on.
She said that the defining fact of the twenty century was the first world war. She was a witness in Bosnia war.
She talks about the develop of woman now. She said that it has been transformed, that woman are work in progress. It´s difficult that a family survive with only one partner working out.

I heard an interesting interview about Stanley Kubrick who collaborate with the science fiction books writer Arthur C. Clarke in the movie a Space Odice. He wrote parts to the play. He took ideas from Arthur`s novel. When he was a child he was interested in astronomy, science fiction, he used his lunch money to buy magazines about this.
His first publications were in a school`s magazine with smalls essays, the magazine had as name spaceship and he was influenced for his English master.
He write about the future, science fiction in his stories, he like to expand his imagination writing about stories where the reader don`t hope what happen in it.
By Andrea Calderón:
I heard the Andy Warhol’s interview. He is the most famous pop artist. In the interview he said that he paints no because of the money, he pains because for him work is a pleasure. He also said that he likes to paint as many pictures as he can but, some times is not very easy. He added that painting 30 or 40 pictures it is better than paint only one. Finally, he said that he likes to listen music, like opera, on his Sony walkman while he is painting.
In other interview he said that his favorite subject was to paint Liza Minelli because Warhol thinks that she is a great person. To conclude he added that the kind of person you are painting affects how you are going to do his or her picture or portrait.
