A few of Lili's favorite things by Amy Talkington

Name: Lili Taylor
Home: New York
Current films: "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious circle"
and "Pret-a-Porter"
Boyfriend: Yes

Singer:
Nina Simone. She's an old jazz and blues singer. She takes a song, makes it her own, and goes places, within the song that others wouldn't think of going.
City: New York, because it holds so many strange scenes. All you have to do is walk out of your apartment and stand on the street for a minute, and you'll see some bizarre little human moment.
Food: Pasta. It just feels right for me.
Color: Green. It reminds me of nature and it makes me feel alive.
Animal: Dogs. They have an existence that is different from ours but is valid. They are uncensored.
Time of day: 1:00 AM. Everyone is asleep and it's quiet. I love the night.
Season: Fall. The air is crisp and exhilarating and there's a feeling of action and hope in the air.
Feminist: Susan Faludi. She wrote Backlash. She's so articulate and problems of women in society in such a way that people really listen.
Director: I've had the pleasure of working with several amazing directors- Robert Altman, Alan Rudolph, Nancy Savoca, Woody Allen. They each had their own special vision.
Writer: Proust. He has the ability to describe those events or feelings that are usually indescribable.
Makeup: None! I don't wear it. It's good to just be who you are. I'd rather be me than do what society wants me to do to look perfect.
Artist: Rodin. I am viscerally moved by his work. Like when you see a person crying and it touches a feeling in your heart. I was moved by his work like that. -Amy Talkington
