If you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with without denigrating them or insulting them, then you may actually be heard.
If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.
A bossy woman is someone to search out and celebrate. A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.
Great people do things before they're ready...You might find out something about yourself that's really special and if you're not good, who cares? You tried something.
Your career and your passion don't always match up. Plenty of talented people don't have the careers they want. Plenty of untalented people make millions and make movies. There is a difference between determination and talent.
In a recent Valentine's Day posting on her fan website, Britney Spears says that - oh, who cares?
Some people get in the way of change happening. Some people spend their whole careers thinking they can make a difference. Other people want to do as little as possible to get the day done.
I had to come to terms with how I saw myself. I had to understand that I wasn't pretty or beautiful like most actresses and that I shouldn't care about whether other people found me attractive or not.
Treat your career like a bad boyfriend... Your career wont take care of you. It won't call you back or introduce you to its parents. Your career will openly flirt with other people while you are around... You have to care about your work, but not about the result. You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.
There's a couple of enemies to improv, and one of them is editing; when you edit on TV it makes it seem like it's not really improv.
Everything looked like you could run around in it you could catch a bus!
I used to get my hair dyed at a place called Big Hair. It cost $15. They just used straight bleach, so my hair was the color of white lined paper, and my eyebrows looked like they were done with a thick black marker.
It is completely improvised. We have had no meetings backstage, we have not written anything, and everything you see onstage tonight is being made up on the spot,
We want to extend our adolescence as long as we can. I.O., Upright Citizens Brigade and 'SNL' have enabled me to do that.
