It’s just a vessel I’ve been given to move through this life. I think about my body as a tool to do the stuff I need to do, but not the be-all and end-all of my existence. Which sounds like I spent a week at a meditation retreat, but it’s genuinely how I feel.” ~ Lena Dunham

It’s a __cpLocation that you show. It’s something I whisper in someone’s ear. It’s a freeform thing. It only takes me a week to write the script, but it’s years that you’re thinking about it. The execution is really the fast part.” ~ Harmony Korine

- “In my opinion, visual effects are great when it compliments a good story, and action is great when it compliments a good story, but just to have them for the sake of having them, it gets a little boring, especially if you’re talking a TV series. At least with a movie that’s an hour and a half to two hours, you see it and you’re impressed, and then you’re out. With a series, if it’s only that, week after week after week, there’s nothing there to bring you back. You have to get invested in the characters and care about them and want to follow them.” ~ Drew Roy

- “With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child from who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world. To me, that says more about our inability to focus on the real problems.” ~ Madonna Ciccone
- “You can’t remember what movie you saw two weeks ago, but you can remember what Broadway show you saw two weeks ago and where you ate dinner – everything about it. There’s something about live theatre that hits you in the heart.” ~ Susan Stroman

- “I used to get letters from guys in prison. Anymore now I don’t even open them. They’d ask me to please sign a couple of cards for their children. Then I see them on eBay two weeks later. Or the people that write and say, “You is one of my favorite cartoonists. I would like a drawing, please.” I guess they encourage inmates to write letters to celebrities. It’s like a way to make money by selling autographs or something. Give me a break.” ~ Mike Royer

The country has invested a lot of money in you and your training, and the Space Shuttle and everything that’s in it, and you have to do things correctly. You can’t make a mistake during that week or two that you’re in space.” ~ Sally Ride
- “I try not to look back. I’m looking forward. I’m worried more about what I’m going to do next week than I am what I did last week. There are too many things to do. Looking back is for everybody else.” ~ Neil Young

- “When a movie comes out, I always go off on a beach so I miss all the craziness that goes on, all the hoopla, and the hype and the success, and how much it’s making, or whether it’s doing good or whether it’s doing bad. I just miss it all. I don’t talk to anybody, and a couple weeks later I come back and it’s all over with.” ~ George Lucas

The process was respected and honored.” ~ Pietra Brettkelly
