Taught Quotes

I came from the Groundlings Theatre in L.A., and there, you’re guaranteed to at least try something out in front of an audience.

You learn the structure of a joke, which is not something I was very good at beforehand Picture Quote #1

Authors can get an attitude of us-against-them when it comes to publishers, but learning how authors and editors can work together taught me to look at my work in a different way and to make that work as solid as possible before it ever goes to the publisher Picture Quote #1

I remember being, like, the age of 7 and just always being in control of something or someone, a baby somewhere. I had lots of cousins and brothers, and we were all taught that’s how you are, you know. Things don’t just run themselves; you have to make them run Picture Quote #1

Long before I learned to do a sum in arithmetic or describe the shape of the earth, Miss Sullivan had taught me to find beauty in the fragrant woods, in every blade of grass, and in the curves and dimples of my baby sister’s hand Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I used to go to Baha’i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions Picture Quote #1
