Grieve !

"What did your terrier, Lolabelle, mean to you? In the film she seems to be at once a pet, a friend and an alter ego.
It’s a film about empathy. Lolabelle was a character that was almost pure empathy, so I tried to express that as well as I could. She was not my best friend – I didn’t want a piano-playing dog necessarily. I wanted to find a way to help her because when she went blind, she didn’t do well at all, she panicked. This trainer said: “I taught my dogs to play piano,” and I said: “Whoah – OK!” And she said: “I think it really helps Lolabelle.” So there were concerts every day, and she was playing this stuff, and it was really a situation where music saved her life. She basically recovered her social world through music."

(Laurie Anderson é um velho interesse meu, esta entrevista foi a propósito do seu filme e disco "Heart of a dog", como sempre deveras interessante e inspirador)
