Okay, uh, I'm lost. I'm angry. And I'm armed.
They can take everything away from me, but they can never take my pride, unless I somehow get some.
Basically that you can do anything. If you pool your resources,and just give up the idea that you're going to act like a normal person or sleep, if you want it hard enough and do it well enough, it happens. A lot of really talented people either sort of get crushed under the wheel of the movie studio system or desperately try and get their next gig in TV. I understand why, because we've all got to put food on the table and the brass ring is out there, we'd all like to be making the Emmy-winning shows and the blockbusters and all that, but at the same time you could be doing stuff yourself.
The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different.

TV's like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn't be rapids, and it wouldn't be as much fun.
Men not only don't get what's important about what women are capable of, but in fact they fear it, and envy it, and want to throw stones at it, because it's the thing they can't have.
In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be.
Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing.
If I had created reality television I would have had a much greater influence, but then I would have had to KILL MYSELF.
