mother dream air
Hunger makes you restless. you dream about food - not just any food, but perfect food, the best food, magical meals, famous and awe-inspiring, the one piece of meat, the exact taste of buttery corn, tomatoes so ripe they split and sweeten the air, beans so crisp they snap between the teeth, gravy like mother's milk singing to your bloodstream.
hate two three
Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is the way you can both hate and love something you are not sure you understand.
strong feelings crafts
I did not begin with craft, I began with strong feelings and worked toward craft.
determination class decision
I put on the page a third look at what I've seen in life - the reinvented experience of a cross-eyed working-class lesbian, addicted to violence, language and hope, who has made the decision to live, is determined to live, on the page and on the street, for me and mine.
class race needs
Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.
knowing giving joy
Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different...I claimed myself and remade my life. Only when I knew I belonged to myself completely did I become capable of giving myself to another, of finding joy in desire, pleasure in our love, power in this body no one else owns.
baby doors
Babies change things, open doors you thought were shut, close others. Make you into something you never been.
character heart way
I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them.
lying together deceit
Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.
two world coats
Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I'd rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.
beautiful two three-things
Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to each other, we cannot know beauty in any form.
people
What I try to do is always get the newest, funniest people in anything.
laughing serious-business comedy
Comedy is a serious business. It's frustrating when I can't find the right thing that makes the crew laugh. If I don't make them laugh, I get very disappointed in myself. You don't really have a live audience, so you just depend on the crew to let you know if you're doing something funny.
character voice littles
It's a little weird accepting your voice coming out of an animated character. You don't buy it at first because it's your voice and none of us like our voices when we hear them recorded back.
