Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

The writers could always do an about-face and change everything

We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.
opportunity thinking acting
There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.

I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.
children stress school
I have a two-year-old who just turned three, and my four-year-old just turned five. I have the same irrational feelings taking them to pre-school. It's this charged combination of stress and joy and anxiety and excitement. When they're away, you've got a sudden loss of purpose and this ever-present fear about the kid's welfare. The departure of our children from our nest is not an easy thing.

You dont have to be gay to be attracted to your friend.
truth honesty reality
Honesty is not synonymous with truth.
