Majicman Notes

You know those monkey bars?” she asks. “I had a friend at drama school who described happiness. They said that in the process of letting go of one hand, you swing to grab another, and in that swing is pure joy. I’ve experienced that when you fall in love, or any moment when you’re in full unfettered flow in life, and they’re rare. But I have also experienced it on stage, and in rehearsal rooms, and in making movies like Tár.” The addictive thing, she explains, “is wanting to feel that flow again. So maybe it’s not what I’m running from,” she says, reaching a conclusion – for now. “Maybe it’s what I’m running towards.”
