The movies, because they combine every art form I'm interested in separately (painting, dance, fashion, architecture, literature, music) into something new.

Rain on the roof at night.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Rachel, my dear, I am extremely surprised to see you here, considering you are an atheist and YOU don't believe in Heaven. Please, enjoy a cigarette."
