I believe with an extreme story the closer you look the more horrifying it gets. — © Susanne Wuest
I believe with an extreme story the closer you look the more horrifying it gets.
The closer one gets to either the eastern or the southern fringe of the German-speaking world-the closer one gets, in other words, to the threatening and more numerous Slavs-the more insecure and dangerous nationalism becomes.
The closer a horror story gets to the truth of things, the more affective it is going to be.
The closer we come to the Greek tragedy that is Brexit, the more horrifying it is to behold.
If you look at coastlines, if you look at that them from far away, from an airplane, well, you don't see details, you see a certain complication. When you come closer, the complication becomes more local, but again continues. And come closer and closer and closer, the coastline becomes longer and longer and longer because it has more detail entering in.
I have in my own life merely carried to the extreme that which you have never ventured to carry even halfway ; and what's more, you've regarded your cowardice as prudence, and found comfort in deceiving yourselves. So that, in fact, I may be even more "alive" than you are. Do take a closer look!
I think visual seduction is really a lovely thing. To be able to look at something and feel you want to get closer and closer to it, and as you get closer to it, the more you drop your guard.
I think it's more interesting if you go all the way with the world you have, and really look at it, and push it to an even more extreme extreme.
You have to be an extremist to believe that you're gonna be the president of the United States and your name is Barack Hussein Obama! And he's using extreme methods, but his application is very smooth. Michelle Obama is extreme, her presence is extreme. And it's an extreme good. Extreme is not negative.
In the real world, there's probably nothing more horrifying than racism. Living racism is a horrifying experience. And then, having to normalize it and internalize it.
I mean look, everyone wants to do the story on the rising star, and when the star is up, they all want to be the one to bring it down because that's what people care about, right? They only care about the rise and the fall, so it's extreme positivity and extreme negativity.
It's what I've always wanted to do and each part you play gets you closer and closer to the roles that you dreamed of playing.
I get a much more extreme reaction when I have my hair really short. I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter. It's a much more extreme reaction.
I feel, in a way, on a record, you can be more subtle. In the live setting, everything gets amplified. The dynamics are more extreme in concert.
Extreme pain to extreme pleasure has been the story of my entire life.
I do believe that everything can look beautiful if you look at it from outside. The closer you zoom in, most of us exhibit behaviour that is strange to someone from outside.
As it gets closer and more probable, being a star is really losing its meaning.
