thinking perfect parent
My parents suffered from that ideal of a perfect nuclear family. They found that a difficult pressure, I think.
dark persons
I am not a dark person and I don't consider myself dark.
confused real people
I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
done scripts kind
I had never really done something that was more of a horror film, and its funny, because those are the kind of movies that I like probably more than any other genre. The script had images in it that I liked.
sports frustrating persons
I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.
people wonder mental-health
I always wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.
depression dark scary
I'm a happy-go-lucky manic-depressive. It does get very deep and dark for me, and it gets scary at times when I feel I can't pull out of it. But I don't consider myself negative-negative. I'm positive-negative.
thinking film trouble
It's like getting into film - I didn't say early on, 'I'm going to become a filmmaker,' 'I'm going to show my work at MoMA.' When you start to think those things, you're in trouble.
dark people creepy
Most people say about graveyards: "Oh, it's just a bunch of dead people. It's creepy." But for me, there's an energy to it that it not creepy, or dark. It has a positive sense to it.
years santa bears
Unwisely, Santa offered a teddy bear to James, unaware he had been mauled by a grizzly earlier this year.
winning sticks pins
But she knows she has a curse on her, a curse she cannot win. For if someone gets too close to her, the pins stick further in.
dream mean son
Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die?
girl flower eye
The Girl With Many Eyes One day in the park I had quite a surprise. I met a girl who had many eyes. She was really quite pretty (and also quite shocking!) and I noticed she had a mouth, so we ended up talking. We talked about flowers, and her poetry classes, and the problems she'd have if she ever wore glasses. It's great to know a girl who has so many eyes, but you really get wet when she breaks down and cries.
girl eye winning
Staring Girl I once knew a girl who would just stand there and stare. At anyone or anything, she seemed not to care She'd stare at the ground, She'd stare at the sky. She'd stare at you for hours, and you'd never know why. But after winning the local staring contest, she finally gave her eyes a well-deserved rest.
