I identify with his way of working in that it is a way to take an active role in creation. This way I feel the characters of Jesus of Malibu, breathing and absorbing life and letting the air come out into a film which reaches for the infinite. My passion, my purpose, my vision, is that human hearts become free to love and be loved, that no ego cuts our vitality, but that we react impulsively to things&lt;br /&gt;and let ourselves be in a genuine way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8781198288364067234-7786075567308430413?l=billyandanaisinspirations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://billyandanaisinspirations.blogspot.com/feeds/7786075567308430413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://billyandanaisinspirations.blogspot.com/2009/03/inspirations.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8781198288364067234/posts/default/7786075567308430413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8781198288364067234/posts/default/7786075567308430413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://billyandanaisinspirations.blogspot.com/2009/03/inspirations.html' title=''/><author><name>Billy and Anais Inspirations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15423062624094382133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
