perfect
All my life I had believed that unless I was perfect I would not be loved.
men perfect toxic
This toxic striving for perfection is a female thing. How many men obsess about being perfect? For men, generally, good enough is good enough.
perfect childhood trying
I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We're supposed to be complete and whole, and you can't be whole if you're trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please.
inspiring perfect challenges
The challenge is not to be perfect…it’s to be whole
perfect challenges desire
Perfection is a toxic desire. We are not supposed to be perfect. The challenge is not to be perfect, it's to be whole.
perfect long long-time
We're not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.
perfect trying needs
We don't need to be perfect. We're not supposed to be perfect; we're supposed to be complete. And you can't be complete if you're trying to be perfect.
powerful talking soul
I found that you're more powerful when talking from your soul.
be-good
When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad. I sure identify with that.
older-women jokes
When you're an older woman [in a movie], you are the brunt of the joke.
ifs i-can
If I can change, anybody can change.
judgmental hard
I've worked really, really hard on myself to not be judgmental.
heart doors speak
Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?
writing scary up-to-you
Movies are collective, cooperative endeavours, which I like a lot. But writing is all up to you, it's what's so scary; it's just you and that page. But I really like it a lot.
