looks genius ugly
There's a perceived inverse relation between looks and talent. Look at Charlize Theron - she made herself ugly for 'Monster' and suddenly everyone said 'she's a genius.' It shouldn't be like that.
dark losing-someone brain
I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.

Once the film came out and didn't do so well, the director Terry Gilliam blamed me for absolutely everything.

I'm just going to stay single forever. I could never live with anybody ever again.

I have a playlist of farts on my phone.
parent cold sometimes
Sometimes it's a bizarre, fairly cold, and horrifying thing to be a parent.
winning boys looks
I look at someone like Kathryn Bigelow, and I have so much admiration. She's playing in the boy's sandpit, and winning.
morning son smell
It's amazing the things that you cry at. I cry when I smell my son's hair in the morning. We have a moment of peace and I'll be like, 'Ahhhh! How can you love this much?'
