knew somebody
I mean, I knew I wanted to do this kind of thing in school, but to actually have somebody that would bring you into that world, that was really exciting, you know?
best ideas night time work yours
Night time really is the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone is asleep.
children people watches
When you do something that people watch and enjoy as children, that's great because it stays with you, throughout your life. The things you loved as a child stay with you, and so do the people who were in those things.
fun writing care
I only want to write. I don't care about directing really. I've tried it and it was fun, but it's not like I have to.
The United States is one of the only holdouts, not changing to metric.
smart people foolish
You allow people to represent themselves, and they'll either look smart or foolish on their own; you don't have to do much for them.
couple thinking laughing
I think one of the sexiest things a couple can share is laughing.
mad world
These are mad times, but there have been a lot of mad times in the world.
laughing laugh-out-loud
I'm afraid to laugh out loud, because there's so much information.
funny new-year writing
I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?
fun people helping
It's easier to make fun of things that people can help doing.
night ideas best-times
Night time is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep.
family girl religious
I'm pretty much a good Catholic girl at heart and I believe in family. I also have a basic belief that God takes care of me. I believe in prayer, even though I'm not that religious. I just have that foundation from my family. I mean when you think that you're just a human being and one of God's creatures, you can't take anything that seriously.
character age roles
Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.
