What my writing is like

I don’t do girly and I don’t do sweet, but I do emotion, funny and snappy.

And above all, I do crisp and clean.

Is this you? Then I’m your Jane.

Is this you? Then I’m your Jane.

Who’s the one you want to be with? And if you’re thinking ‘I didn’t know who you were with’ Godfather thoughts, you’re not far, minus the ethical dilemmas. I mean who are those you can never get enough of? Because working with them gets you in the zone, is sheer...

Your website is a puzzle. A conversation. Shall we play?

Your website is a puzzle. A conversation. Shall we play?

"My website is so old it's not even funny. Can you redo it? Just write something about me on it." I get tons of calls like that. Sure, I can. The thing is, you've got the words already, I just have to get them out of you, give them whatever your client thinks is a...

So what are you about?

So what are you about?

You think about it every time you need a tagline. Or an About page. It's always about distilling who you are into a snippet and posting it like a precious something on your website front door. You bump into it every time you're asked what you do or when you're...

Know anyone you want to see do well? Give them this.

"I don't get what you do, but I wish you well. Really." Have you ever thought that about a friend?  You're in their corner through and through, and really want them to nail it. Because they have this idea that could make the planet virtually garbage free, or work on a...

The trip to Italy. With or without Steve Coogan.

I came across the movies a few years ago: The trip (to England), The trip to Italy and recently The trip to Spain. Steve Coogan and the new to me but oh, so smart and funny Rob Brydon jump from feast to feast, splash glam and humour impersonating every great actor you...

What’s in a “Torsion”?

The title is, actually, very accurate. The show is about the act of twisting and turning. As with all metaphors, it’s all in the how. It opens to grand Hollywood airs, the ‘30s type you expect grand cabaret ballet corps to flood the stage on, plumed, long legged and...

On engagement, with delicate instruments

I just stepped onto the set of George Michael’s Freedom, Cindy Crawford at my feet, arms over chest in pop icon bathtub pose. Meters away, Linda Evangelista stretches against the wall, looking to the side, just like in Michael’s music video. Or Madonna’s. I can’t...

“We are all lichens” made me clean my closet

Walking into the set of We are lichens is like an immersion into a languid version of Children of men. Still dark and unkempt to dirtiness, but without the structure and the drama. Precisely what the title advertises. Although, there is another layer built into it....

When I don’t write, I love to read or listen to some of these amazing creators:

 

The New York Times

Because there’s only one Gray Lady out there. And it defines the playing field.

Scribd

Because I’m the perfect (audio)book worm. Aren’t you? Read free for 30 days with my link.

Here’s the thing with Alec Baldwin

A smart hangout with brainy creatives. (Plus he’s how I discovered Krista.)

The Tim Ferriss Show

A podcast on excellence and the habits that take you there. And the unsung revolutionary behind my new morning routine.

Nerdwriter

Crisp videos on filmmaking and culture. Am a Patron. Je like.

On being with Krista Tippett

(Maybe because I also look a bit like Krista. I wish I was her twin.) Her podcast is my weekly soul spa.

The School of Life

The Alpha and Omega.  A cool way to get up to date with Aristoteles without reading 47 volumes.

Caroline Hirons

Because I go gaga over creams, and blush, and lipstick.
