privacy interest unwanted
It's so much unwanted interest in your privacy that you don't want to invite anymore.
interesting literature arthur
There were, like, 20 of [Jackie Kennedy's biographies], which was interesting because they are not exactly high literature - they are pulpy.But the [Arthur] Schlesinger transcripts ended up being the most useful of anything.
I read every biography [of Jackie Kennedy] I could get my hands on.
thinking people journalism
I hear, more than ever, people actively searching for women to direct, actively wanting to finance women's films, which is not to say it is easy, but I think it's been a great instance of how journalism has put pressure on business to be more fair between genders.
people seeing
There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.
love-life important way
If we can find ways to love life and be joyful without being wasteful or destructive--that's what's important.
pain three want
Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.
laughing garden-state life-is
If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
children kids cutting
I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
character fiction action
It really wasn't my thing. It still isn't my thing, the whole science-fiction action thing. I prefer simpler, character-based movies.
thinking support female
I think the press is doing a wonderful job of putting the pressure on the decision-makers in Hollywood to support more female directors.
jobs fun artist
I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.
school thinking scare
It scares me to think that one day I'm not going to be in school anymore.
dresses sweatpants casual
I usually dress very casual. Whenever I go out with my friends, I'm always like, 'Can't I just wear sweatpants?'
