I generally think that Hillary Clinton is a good egg and a good politician.
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck.
Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.
It's a fun thing to do, to put yourself in the service of something if you think you can add an interpretation. It's no different than any other storytelling.
Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.
People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple.
Peace comes from the acceptance of the part of you that can never be at peace.
I describe television as feminine and movies as masculine, in the sense that television wants to examine a problem from all sides and talk about it for a long time, and movies just want to hit the climax and then maybe have a smoke.

Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.
I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.
I'm probably going to turn it in in a few days. It's coming along. ... There will be all of the expected stuff. Of course there will be the bracelets; there will be the invisible jet, the lasso, all of that.
I never wanted to take a job because I needed money, and I never have.
