I just want to sleep, and eat, and learn about what's going on in the world.

I tend to wear outfits that match the walls.

Writers often have a 'drunk' that is different than anyone else's. That's why it's so insidious and so damning. First of all, because they can write when they're drinking - or they think they can. A lot of writers will tell me - and this is the latest one I've heard - you drink while you're thinking about what to write, but when you actually write, you sober up.

The minute we have a pain, we want a diagnosis. So I think the minute we feel love, it's very hard to just let it be.

I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.
