It would be really interesting to hear how you prepare in the days and weeks before you go in front of the camera. I assume alcohol is off limits. Carbs too. Yikes.

Hi Jane,

I get so despondent sometimes. I recycle everything (including a lot of wine bottles during the pandemic 😂). I try to use as little plastic as possible. We buy regional and seasonal and organic wherever. Like most Germans actually. However, the German government is still using open cast coal mining and STILL trying to find a site where…[Read more]

Hi Jane!

Looks fantastic. If there’s one thing I’ve learned during the pandemic (well, I never needed to learn it) is that eating and drinking in the company of close friends (which I also did tonight) is really the best thing in life. We’re human beings and not human doings. And that the tribal instinct of social gatherings is so…[Read more]

Hi Jane,

I just love a train ride. Even though I work for an airline, I often use the train. Sit back, relax, watch the countryside go by. I’ve even been on Amtrak a few times and coming from Buffalo to NYC there is no better way to arrive in NYC than via the Hudson Valley. Just spectacular.

Love Shtisel too!
Take care and stay safe.

Hi Jane,
Yes it’s so sad. When I moved to Germany from Wales in 1991,CNN was the only English-language channel I could get (I couldn’t speak German then) and so I loved to watch Larry King Live (especially when you were the guest). He entertained me through the homesick years. I will be eternally grateful.
Best,
Jason

Happy New Year Jane.
2020 is a year we’ll never forget, but 2021 can only be better and happier for us all if we all pull together. There’s no one ‘out there’ trying to harm us. It’s in our hands. ❤️

Hi Jane,
Absolutely stunning. Congratulations. And an artist friend of mine has painted those wooden German figures and are the mottos on her Christmas cards this year.

Hi Jane
Fantastic. No tree should ever be felled!! They are our lungs. Good on you for getting a plastic one. When I was a child in Wales my mother worked evening shifts in a factory that made artificial Christmas trees. So, we’ve had one since the early 70s. Knowing my mother and the quality of the tree it’s probably the same one!!
I worry a…[Read more]

Hi Jane
Congratulations on a brilliant win in your country. All your hard work paid off. Even we in other parts of the world can breathe a little easier now. It’s amazing what these last four years have done to us. Even though we’re not directly governed by ‘him’, we have felt his authoritarian grip on the world.
I’m still not sleeping as easy…[Read more]

Hi Jane,
Received your hand-signed book. Thanks so much for writing this very important book. Can’t wait to start reading it.
Take care
Jason

Hi Jane,
Great. I started my own theatre company in 2018 and were enjoying a lot of success, so we were sad in March that we had to cancel all future projects for 2020. But I decided with my colleagues to start Couchcasts online, where we read poetry, which is in the public domain.
On Facebook they’ve now been viewed over 13,000 times. We need…[Read more]

Hi Jane,
We are watching from afar with bated breath and hoping that Americans will see sense and go for Biden/Harris. I don’t think I could take another 4 years of you know who and he’s not even my president. I actually don’t know how you manage with him as your ‘leader’.
Amazing how he got the vote by telling Americans they were a laughing…[Read more]

Hi Jane,

Well I just can’t keep up with you anymore.

However, you are such a wonderful glam-ma (a glamorous grandma) and such an inspiration. In 2000 you wowed us with your return to the Oscars and 20 years later you did it again.
I can only applaud and be inspired.

Hi Jane,

My new theatre company, Couch Theatre, has become an official V-Day 2020 participant.

Our one-off charity event on 29th February is in aid of a women’s shelter in Hamburg. All proceeds will go to the women’s shelter- the 5th Hamburger Frauenhaus e.V. They will be present with an info table and will give a short talk after the…[Read more]

Happy Birthday to you. Wishing you health, happiness, a lot of love and that you get all the support and encouragement you can in order to change politicians’ minds and heal our world forever.
Much love,
Jason

Hi Jane!

You go, Jane!! It’s absolutely brilliant what you’re doing. You have already attracted the world’s attention to this issue within your first two weeks like no other can.

I’m behind you all the way. Via Social Media I will support you in any way I can. Retweeting, sharing, posting.

I already do a lot for the environment. I…[Read more]

Dear Jane,

My deepest condolences to you and your family.

From the outpouring of love for your brother may you find the strength to get through this difficult time.

Much love.
