They were all different colors.

Do you know about this condition?

You must do.

Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and she had synesthesia for months of the year.

And oddly, summer wasn't yellow.

It was sort of like a different, I can't remember what it was.

It was sort of a different, a color you wouldn't expect.

From my mother, the best advice I've received is that in order to make something that's good, it has to be true to you.

If you want to make art, in my case it was film, it has to be something that lives inside you and you have to reflect it with all its weirdness, or its truth anyway, you see, in order to make something that resonates.

My dad used to say famously all the time, not all the time, but we used to quote it all the time back to him, that the thought is made in the mouth, which means in his case that you understand something by doing it.

That by making a picture, you understand what the picture is that you're making, what it means to you.

By writing something about love, you understand in the writing of it

what you feel about love.

And by talking about something, you understand the thought that you're trying to express.

So he would say the thought is made in the mouth.

And that is a sort of offshoot of my mother's lesson.

My mother didn't teach me that lesson.

She never taught me anything.

She never told me to do anything.
