   About Minnie Driver



myspace
So, I've been writing music my whole life, long before acting I was singing up a 400 year old oak tree developers were threatening to cut down. It was a protest, I was 8 and I wore a kilt . My english teacher (Bob, who played the guitar and looked like John Fogerty) and I got on the local news, but they cut that beautiful tree down anyway. Music from that moment seemed like a powerful tool if you had something to say. I've been working on having something to say for a while, I was signed to Island in a band when I was 19 but we made a terrible record and drank most of the development money, they quite rightly dropped us and I went off to live in Uraguy with my sister, we were completely broke and selling vintage jeans on the beach to rich kids from Buenes Ayres, I got a call one day at the post office that EMI were interested in signing me so I came back to London took the meeting and in the same week auditioned for, and got got cast in the movie'Circle of Friends'. I got fat for the role which seemed more impressive than it actually was (Muchos doughnuts are not hard to swallow) the movie went better than the meeting at EMI and so I got side tracked by an amazing career . And now, now I juggle. life is big and broad and too short to be pigeon holed into one little box, it never fails to astonish me however, how many people don't want you to be able to do more than one thing creatively... I refuse to subscribe to this impoverished way of thinking and plan to carry on making music, movies, babies, dinner and stories until I drop.

Conscious Mind

 Photobucket


”Walking Through” the door of perception where all is “One” and there exists the realization that God is sitting in the temple of every human body.  Some are aware and have reverence, love, and compassion for each living soul as such but many are unaware of the Divine sitting at the throne within ones own consciousness.   Such a total realization would end the egos state of separation responsible for war, pain, and suffering.
