You know, Longmire and all those other great (whodunit) series, I would love to one of those. We just haven’t found the right one...I really am, I think, an old soul, I think, in the acting world. I’m very comfortable in the fifty, sixties era. I love it Picture Quote #1

I think it’s common sense to shy away from the erotic. Perhaps this grand experiment, which started with Lady Chatterley’s Lover, of seeing what you can write and how you can write about sex, has reached a certain weary terminus with Fifty Shades of Grey Picture Quote #1

We raise awareness and drop information about access and laws into pop culture spaces through making videos and through live events. That’s like fifty percent of what we do Picture Quote #1

With so many forty- and fifty something mums and dads in Converse stalking the streets, I can see why there’s a slew of books about the menopause and middle age, the most recent addition being David Bainbridge’s plucky, glass-half-full meditation or, as he calls it, ‘natural history.’ Picture Quote #1

Forty is ... an age at which people have histories and options. At thirty, they had perhaps less history. At fifty, perhaps fewer options Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen ‘Silence of the Lambs,’ like, fifty or sixty times. That’s my favorite movie of all time Picture Quote #1

Maybe out of the fifty top Beach Boys songs, I was probably the co-writer and singing lead on forty of them Picture Quote #1

There are landscapes and species that are not going to be here a hundred years from now, fifty years from now. One gift we as writers give to the world is to bear witness to these landscapes and species as we have experienced them Picture Quote #1
