This Will Have Been: Art, Love and Politics in the 1980s at the MCA

The Museum of Contemporary Art revisits the 1980s.

Interviews

- Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine | Interview
  
  Florence Welch admits she loses herself in her music. She also loses her manager’s cell phone often, apparently.
- Christina Ricci | Interview
  
  The star of Pan Am tries to temper her authority problem and instead be “nice, kind, good.”
- Damian Lewis | Interview
  
  The English actor calls Showtime’s Homeland “contentious.” Classic British understatement?
- Zooey Deschanel | Interview
  
  In Fox’s New Girl, Deschanel is single, can’t sing and breaks down a lot. Not much like the cheery star herself.
