I don't know if he still does, but ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL used to collect corners. I met him on his 50th birthday and handed him a blank sheet of A4 paper. What's this, he asked. For you, I said, four corners for your birthday! Elliot gave me a cheeky smile, and pulled a little pair of scissors out of his suit pocket and started snipping at the sheet of paper. I swear to god, he turned the four corners I gave him into close to a thousand in just a few minutes. Pure genius. Although I spotted Julie Taymor watching us with a worried look on her face. And he drastically cut his film assignments around then, so I think the whole thing got out of hand.
