So that in 1974, when I graduated as a lawyer, I figured I’m not going to be a lawyer under a military regime Picture Quote #1

The way I figured it, keeping quiet was safe. Words could betray you if you chose the wrong ones, or mean less if you used too many. Jokes could be grandly miscalculated, or stories deemed boring, and I’d learned early on that my sense of humor and ideas about what sorts of things were fascinating didn’t exactly overlap with my friends Picture Quote #1

I used to have all these plans and think ‘Ah, I have my whole life figured out’, but then I realized no matter how much I plan: life happens! So I find myself living day to day trying to do my best, embracing every moment as a learning opportunity and chance to get to know myself a little more Picture Quote #1

The word smart is not applied to all professions, even if you are smart in that profession. No one talks about smart lawyers. They may say a brilliant lawyer. They’ll talk about a creative artist. Smart is saved for scientists. It just is. It’s not even really applied to medical doctors. It applies to scientists in the lab figuring out what hadn’t been figured out before Picture Quote #1

Girls didn’t really take much interest in me until I was about 14. But I knew how to talk to them very quickly. What I figured out - that my friends didn’t - was you have to talk to women like you’re not constantly trying to have sex with them. That seemed to work Picture Quote #1

In art school, I started to see Pettibon in magazines, and I figured it out backward. I was into the idea that someone could show work in galleries while making album covers and photocopied books Picture Quote #1

I wanted to find something I was passionate about, something with the possibility of upward movement, and I wanted freedom. I need to be outside living life, not stuck in an office. I figured I could either be out selling condos in Miami, or I could move to L.A. and chase after that elusive actor’s job Picture Quote #1

The reason why I started the clothing line Licious is because I had trouble finding clothes for my body type. I figured if I’m having trouble finding clothes for me, being curvy, I know girls with my body type are probably facing the same issue. And so with the help of my designer, I came up with the idea of creating my own clothing line Picture Quote #1

When you don’t know where you fit inside the home and you’re young and you’re desperate to fit in somewhere, I’d figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some obviously bad decisions about who I hung out with and the things that I did Picture Quote #1

When I read it and I realized that Michael Landon, Jr. was the director of it, I thought...this could work out well. This is not gonna be a hard stretch for me to get the character figured out at all. Outside of the billion dollars, I was living his life...chasing money down. It was a lot of fun Picture Quote #1

I try to give myself permission to be a work-in-progress and not have everything figured out at once. It’s more manageable and takes some of the pressure off of feeling like I have to have everything right all the time Picture Quote #1

. I used to advise writers to just write their books and it will find a home, and suddenly that didn’t seem as certain. I figured it was time to act. I considered a small press through RADAR, my literary non-profit Picture Quote #1

I always had career goals. And I figured out a path I wanted to take to accomplish those goals. If that meant calling the best modeling agency in the world, that’s what it meant Picture Quote #1
