I fell even more deeply in love with Tolkien's legendarium after studying Old English literature at uni, as I got a sense of the historical events and cultures that Tolkien used to create his world. My favourite of his imaginary locations is Lothlorien.

I fell in love with a civilian. Not an actress and not a famous actress at that. Because then the attention doesn't double - it grows exponentially. Because then suddenly everybody wants to be in your bedroom. But I don't really give them anything.

I learnt how to produce everything I needed with live instrumentalists, so I don't need electronics.
‐‐ Jonny Greenwood
I fell in love with Erica Kane the summer before my freshman year of high school.

‐‐ Mikhail Baryshnikov
I fell in love with playing the trumpet because of what we call 'hot jazz' of the 1920s and 1930s, music that has a higher energy to it.
