TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage.
Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance.
You learn something every time you make a mistake.
I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.
Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.
I describe television as feminine and movies as masculine, in the sense that television wants to examine a problem from all sides and talk about it for a long time, and movies just want to hit the climax and then maybe have a smoke.
Peace comes from the acceptance of the part of you that can never be at peace.
Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.
The absolute favorite part of Comic-Con is seeing like a Mass Effect guy hanging out with a Sailor Moon, and they're just having a great time. Nerds, we love what we love with a passion and sometimes it's an angry passion, and to see that all sort of bleed out and everybody just connect
Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.
Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck.
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
My favorite part of Comic-Con? The groupies. Man, they have loose morals, really. Men, women, I'm just saying that it gets weird on Sunday night. No, that's sadly never happened.
My people - before I was changed - they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship; the crown represents loyalty... and the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody. Like this.
