I went to England in the '70s, and I was in my early 20s. There was still a residue of that era of being an underclass or colonial.

You can't beat the beehive for glam punkette attitude. Rob Sheffield
I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes. Lawrence Kasdan
