It is true that I am a person with black pockets of evil and hatred in my heart. There are underground places inside of m Picture Quote #1

The thing that really struck me when I went to junior high was class. I grew up on a pretty poor street, but the school district I was in included some fine neighborhoods - so I got to know a couple of the kids from those places and went to their houses and experienced such culture shock Picture Quote #1

You know that great car-stomach feeling when you fly over a hump? That was my whole body Picture Quote #1

I tried to be like the richer kids as much as I could because I wanted to live on their streets, at least hang out on their streets and eat their amazing food and walk barefoot on their shag carpets.

I do dumb stuff, like playing my favorite dumb Barry White song and lip-synching into the mirror so it looks like his voice is coming out of my mouth Picture Quote #1

I live in constant fear of being fired or dropped for that dark part of my work I can’t control Picture Quote #1

It’s not hard for me to be funny in front of people, but most of that is just horrified nerves taking the form of what makes people laugh, and afterwards I’d always feel dreadfully depressed, kind of self-induced bi-polar disorder Picture Quote #1

Good Times’ is a story about the loss of innocence, how adults are responsible for their actions but children aren’t Picture Quote #1

Remember when you were in school and the teacher would put a picture under an overhead projector so you could see it on the wall? God, I loved that. Tellya the truth, I used to look at that beam of light and think it was God Picture Quote #1

For horror movies, color is reassuring because, at least in older films, it adds to the fakey-ness Picture Quote #1

When you think about it, giving up your ‘real’ personality is a small price to pay for the richness of ‘living happily ever after’ with an actual man! Picture Quote #1

In my writing class, we never, ever talk about the writing - ever. We never address a story that’s been read. I also won’t let anyone look at the person who’s reading. No eye contact; everybody has to draw a spiral. And I would like to do a drawing class where we could talk about anything except for the drawing. No one could even mention it Picture Quote #1

In health we’re doing the digestive system. We each got assigned a topic for an oral report. I got the small intestine. I swear to God I hate my life Picture Quote #1

When you learn about stories in school, you get it backward. You start to think ‘Oh, the reason these things are in stories is because a book said I need to put these things in there.’ You need a death, as my husband says, and you need a little sidekick with a saying like ‘Skivel-dee-doo!’ Picture Quote #1

I found myself compelled - like this weird, shameful compulsion - to draw cute animals Picture Quote #1

When I was working on ‘Freddie,’ I had been trying to write it on a computer for many, many years, but that delete button just won’t let anything go forward Picture Quote #1

We don’t create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay Picture Quote #1

I go to work the minute I open my eyes Picture Quote #1

What is an idea made of? Of future, past and also meanwhile Picture Quote #1

Playing and fun are not the same thing, though when we grow up we may forget that and find ourselves mixing up playing with happiness. There can be a kind of amnesia about the seriousness of playing, especially when we played by ourselves Picture Quote #1

I think of images as an immune system and a transit system Picture Quote #1

I look crazy. I know I do. Been true since I was a kid! Picture Quote #1

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile Picture Quote #1
