Viggo Mortensen interview quote on art and creativity

   From the "10 questions for Viggo Mortensen" interview.
 Question: Which art form is your favourite?
 Answer: You know, I don't really separate them. They're all the same thing. You know, I don't think children separate different artistry. They don't separate themselves, either. They don't say, as adults do: well, there are artists, and then there are other people. Kids, if they want do draw they draw, if they want to sing they sing, the want to pretend they are the lone ranger, or Aragorn, or an elf, or a monster, they just do it, they don't think about it. It's only adults that make that distinction and I think that everybody, even when they grow up, is an artist. It's just a way of living. Being an artist, that's why I don't separate them, different artistic endeavours, it just has to do with paying attention, remembering and filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life.

Walter de la Mare poem

  Poem by Walter de la Mare.

  When hungry it is good to eat,
  When thirsty, sweet to drink,
  When tired -- to bathe the weary feet,
  When solitary, to think.

Excerpts from an interview. 
'What is the most important thing for you aside from music?
People. It's more important than anything. People in your life. <...> That brings it all home to me. That's what life's about. It's people. It's really the only thing we have. <...> Ultimately, it's the most important thing that we have, really, it's people and the relationships that we form. And everything else is just, you know, is a bonus, it'a decoration, really, you know. <...> We can take people for granted, you know, especially people you love. For whatever hang-offs we've got. It's usually not their fault, but it's important to try to remember that, especially family <...> The band's my family, you know. What we're doing.'

Claflin surname origin

  Sam Claflin is a British actor who became famous after starring in the "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides" (2011). The next noticeable role was in the "Snow White and the Huntsman" (2012).
  What does surname Claflin mean? What is the probable origin?

  All I managed to find is this:
  "Claflin Meaning:  the son of Flaitheamb (ruler; lord)." It corresponsd with the role of the Prince doesn't it? He has the kind of appearance suggestive of a positive character.
   The other piece is this of information is this http://www.ancestry.com.au/name-origin?surname=claflin, which doesn't quite fit, since the actor is no Irish.
