You know what music is - a harmonic connection between all living beings.
The Rolling Stones are so versatile, they're like the band version of that Infinite Dress they sell on QVC.
It doesn't matter if they're in front of the camera or behind the camera. I know women who are producers who are surviving on nothing but juice and almonds.
If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.
I've been watching 'American Idol' since its debut season in 2002. Back then, America hadn't yet evolved into a gladiatorial cybernation of bloggers, tweeters, and self-ordained voice coaches.
I think when you're writing prose there's a lot of attendant description and that's were I used to really go bananas. With a screenplay that all gets filled in by the director, so it just sort of pulls you back by virtue of the form. You also have to use more economy as a screenwriter and so it's kind of limiting in a good way.
I had written the script for Juno and apparently Steven Spielberg had read it. I can't just call him Steven, that's weird. . . Mr. Spielberg had read it and he liked it. He asked me if I would write this television show for him and I said, 'Yeah!'
There's two things you need to know. One, that you won't quit on yourself, and two, that I've done the work.
Ive lived this very dramatic life, with high points and terrible low points. Nothing has been ordinary, and I want to have the experience of the last breath. I want a little drama to it.
There is no true life. Your true life is the one you end up with, whatever it may be. You just do the best you can with what you've got.
We are surrounded by abysses, but the greatest of all depths is in our own heart, and an irresistible leaning leads us there. Draw thyself from thyself!
