being-yourself thinking people
What makes me happy about the show, and what I hope people take away from it is: "Just be yourself." I know that's supremely corny, but I really think that just being honest with yourself and being honest with everyone around you is the best way to live.
jesus home musical
When I was a little younger, I really did love musical theatre in the same hopeless dorky way that she does. I was obsessed with Jesus Christ Superstar and I used to reenact it in my room when no one was home.
defense aesthetic
Being dead is the most airtight defense of one's own aesthetic.
interesting people would-be
I always thought there would be more interesting people at my wedding.
writing thinking parent
I found that life intruding on writing was, in fact, life. And that, tempting as it may be for a writer who is a parent, one must not think of life as an intrusion. At the end of the day, writing has very little to do with writing, and much to do with life. And life, by definition, is not an intrusion.
children hate kids
It's a privilege to have kids and not live your life in solitude. But we live in a child-hating culture.
thinking insane interviews
I don't read a word that's written about me. I don't read my own interviews. I don't read reviews. I think it would drive me insane.
fall thinking expectations
I think you have to have your own expectations of yourself and your own sense of purpose and your own intrinsic pleasure in the task. If you don't, you will drive yourself off a cliff because your fortunes will rise and fall, and if you identify too closely with that, you really will go insane.
age invisible certain
I see, in women friends, a really dangerous phenomenon where it seems they reach a certain age and become invisible.
thinking males way
I would never be essentialist about sexuality and structure, but I do think there's a way in which this male-arc has been talked about as the only structure, and kind of a stand-in for even the word structure, instead of looking at other forms.
hate airplane kids
No one likes kids. We say we do, and we take pictures of pregnant women for People Magazine, but really they're commodities - we hate them around, we hate them on airplanes, we consider them a grand imposition and almost a style choice.
portraits good-enough paint
I used to paint and I used to draw, and I probably would have loved to have been a portrait painter if I'd been good enough, but I really wasn't good enough.
writing theatre amazing-places
A multivalent culture is an amazing place to be writing theatre.
important sitting sitting-down
Sitting down with younger women writers and saying, "This is what I do and you can do this" is hugely important.
