fans lives sort
Fans are afraid to meet me. They're sort of afraid for their lives and won't look me in the eye.
wise people kind
People can do all kinds of things that maybe aren't wise in hindsight because of jealousy.
makeup shoes tennis
My personal style is really comfy: flats, tennis shoes, ponytails, no makeup,
teacher opposites people
My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.
loss rights empathy
I've had my share, less than so many though, but enough to feel empathy. It's tough and I see it so much on Earth, too much suffering. The loss of free will I find unacceptable - what most of us refer to as rights.
jobs interviews remember
I have to remember to not criticize other networks for other shows when I'm doing interviews because some day I'm going to be going to them, looking for a job, I'm assuming.
jobs minutes enjoy
I'm getting the jobs that are a gift, and also the jobs that I do because I just love them. That's ideal, for anybody. I get to enjoy the day that I go to work. I actually enjoy every minute of the day.
ebay vintage two
I was collecting Barbies. I know... embarrassing. I sold them all on eBay, and traded them for vintage dishes. So I've collected two things.
jobs thinking lasts
What I would hope to do is painting, because I don't think I'm qualified for anything else. My last job would be babysitting, so I don't think Starbucks would even hire me.
sleep night soul
If you wear clothing, and put out trash you are using up resources that others also need BUT I can pay attention and I can do better. That I know for sure about me, my soul needs to try or I can't lay my head down on my pillow at night and even hope to sleep.
suffering trying puppy
I have discovered that I cannot ignore the infliction of suffering - especially for my convenience or pleasure! It's as if a puppy is being kicked in front of me. I must try to do something.
fighting race suffering-of-others
I will never be ok with the suffering of others - that I will likely continue to fight so I must treat it as a marathon race not a sprint.
cycle-of-life worry achievement
I tend to worry about each "emergency" or unforeseen complication on all my projects. But there are so many! All of life is unforeseen! So I am learning that is the cycle of life - everything is cyclical and temporary and to get ok with that someday could be my greatest achievement.
cloning invention devices
I have more things going on right now than I can actually do without the invention of a cloning device. It is great!
