“John Paul Mulready (40) burst into his neighbour’s flat brandishing a serrated peeling knife after hammering at the door shouting … The injured party, Dermot Byrne, told [police] that there was a brief standoff after he picked up a frying pan to defend himself, but then Mulready tackled him to the ground, stabbed him in the leg and bit him on the face.

You have to make music of it somehow.”
Inside The Horrible Cult Of James Levine
“Interviews with nearly two dozen former students and musicians from Levine’s Cleveland days, including six from the maestro’s inner circle, indicate the conductor’s alleged sexual behavior was part of a sweeping system to control this core group. As Levine yoked his musical gifts and position to a bid for power, he dictated what they read, how they dressed, what they ate, when they slept — even whom they loved.”

Liv Ullman Talks About Her (Widely Misunderstood) Relationship With Ingmar Bergman
“We did three movies [in the five years] when we lived together. … I made 10 or 11 movies after that, too, as an actor and director. We had an incredibly deep and wonderful friendship in this time. … We quarreled, sure, but we became friends again very quickly, too. But when we quarreled, we really quarreled.
