How I met Jim Jarmusch
I was in New York, at the end of my round the world trip, and was browsing in a shoe shop in the East Village. Suddenly I noticed this man near me and – double-take – it was Jim Jarmusch!!! (I love his films!) I was trying to get up the guts to say hello when he walked out of the store. I went out, loitered around in the street outside a store he’d gone into, and then he came back out! I gritted my teeth and asked for his autograph, saying I was a big fan and that I was glad he had won at Cannes that year for ‘Broken Flowers’. He was very nice and signed my notebook, probably quite bemused by my hero worship. :-)
