Misc

Clarice Lispector: The Poetry of Silence (No other info)

  "All right, my darlings, all I can say is that life is a joy. This is what it's all about. Don't waste your time. For there will never be enough or all you need."

  "She was a great friend, a really wonderful woman to work with...a woman who was an incredibley professional actor, one who was extremely giving, kind and generous. She had things in perspective. She was there to do her job and had a lot of respect for the crew and her fellow performers. But she also knew had to have fun - and perhaps, more importantly, how to make people around her share that fun."


  "In a way Marilla, was the reflection of Colleen's personality. She had an ability to infect people with her humor, and everything was coupled with a strong sense of principles. She was very genuine."
  “She was this powerhouse, but she never made you feel less than, or inexperienced, or any of the millions of things I must have been”
