I just think some women aren't made to be mothers. And some women aren't made to be daughters.

I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.

There's no app for a bourbon buzz on a warm day in a cool, dark bar. The world will always want a drink.

I like the discipline of writing a script. You can't go into the character's head - you have to find these creative ways to help externalize what they're thinking.
