I really like this interview but I don't like how the camera is always moving.

I love Twyla Tharp, but I am also impressed with Norma's questions. Has anybody noticed that she asks good questions?

They made a mistake. if she writes her own biography, it's called an AUTO-biography. C'mon, people! Who writes this stuff anyway?!

twyla is sharp and incisive as usual. love her. xoxoxo kamali, on the other hand! sweet, but...her questions are so vague and uncertain; she's completely out of her depth. it's interesting to see twyla's response-- she stays focused and respectful, but you can see that she's miles ahead of her interviewer. (and kamali had no idea twyla grew up in a drive-in? that means she didn't read push comes to shove or any of her books, for that matter.) sigh.
