The Event

"Creatively, do you think it's true or false that many of the artists who we know and love are often governed by a single event that happens in their life, and that event then becomes this vivid, iconic thing they return to over and over in their work?" Crowe asks. 
 "One-hundred percent true. That's not actually my moment or my theme – my moment is not one that I would probably talk about," says Stone. "But there is a moment that keeps coming back over and over throughout my life. It's the thing that I return to when I'm making a decision out of fear. Anything that I'm doing out of fear is defined by that moment."
