It’s incredibly romantic and grand — it always makes me feel like I’m in a movie. I’ve never performed or shot [at Lincoln Center] but I’ve always wanted to. I hope one day the world works out and I get to do it.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The focus of the collection is on outstanding craftsmanship and decoration, that is, arms often intended solely for display rather than for actual use.

“I love the armor room. When I was at Barnard I used to study there. It felt decadent to do my reading next to armor. I loooove that. It satisfies something inside me, the same part that wanted to be an actor: The horses, the knights, the different armor from all over the world — it makes me feel theatrical and big.”

To eat a falafel at Taïm and see a play at the Rattlestick is the best night to me.
Beauty from Greta Gerwig

Garry Winogrand

Garry Winogrand was an American street photographer, known for his portrayal of U.S. life and its social issues, in the mid-20th century. Photography curator, historian, and critic John Szarkowski called Winogrand the central photographer of his generation.
Greta Gerwig
Actress, Director, Writer
His photographs are incredible. They are black-and-white street photography from New York in the 1950s and 60s. Winogrand had this ability to capture these bursts of energy.
