MUST WATCH
my boyfriend and i watched the woody allen documentary on netflix…wow. he is just so fascinating! one thing that really spoke to me was his go-go-go attitude. once he got started doing what he loved as a teenager, he just never stopped. he would finish a movie, and already be on to the next one. he didn’t care what people said about his movies, or whether they were huge hits…he made them because he believed in the stories. it gets me a little teary eyed when i think about it, because i feel so fortunate to be doing what i care so much about. i really admire this guy.
there was a quote he said in the movie that i immediately wrote down. “the only thing standing between greatness and me…is me. so there’s really no excuse.” it’s so true. just think about what you want, and go get it. people have been saying it for years and it’s still as powerful as ever.

[...] Sometimes they are words one needs to hear. Anyone can do it. It’s not meant for a few. It can be you. You choose your path, your destiny. It doesn’t just happen. Real greatness. Anyone is capable. What’s your version of greatness? I’d love to hear. Photo via DesignLoveFest [...]

Ahhhh, what a coincidence! I stumbled upon his documentary a week ago and just fell in love. I mean i knew I loved his movies, but how could anyone NOT absolutely adore him after watching that?! Such an inspiration.
And I learned that he plays the clarinet at the Carlyle Hotel in NYC every Monday night. Totally adding that near the top of my bucket list.

I really love the typography of this, as well as the gorgeous photo used in the background! Beautiful work! Bri- do you ask permission to use photos like this before you design something? I was just curious how that all worked… maybe this is an advice column question
I’m gonna check out this doc too, thank you!

What a great quote. I might just have to write this one down and put it on my fridge. Simply Inspiring!

Love this!
Annie Hall is still one of my biggest style inspirations; Woody has such swag and all his movies are so uniquely personal.
