We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that’s the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment Picture Quote #1

In my writing, as much as I could, I tried to find the good, and praise it Picture Quote #1

For the last 20 years of my life, I’ve had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects, so I’m attracted to good story, writing and character and good people. That’s what I’m always searching for and I don’t think that’s ever going to change Picture Quote #1

It’s great fun if you get a good piece of writing and you can pretend to be someone else, tell a story that needs to be told, make some kind of connection. I’ve always fancied myself as a leading man, but I really doubt whether anyone else sees me that way Picture Quote #1

Failure in the theater is more dramatic and uglier than any other form of writing. It costs so much, you feel so guilty Picture Quote #1

If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don’t listen to writers talking about writing or themselves Picture Quote #1

I did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on that as a film to act and direct in Picture Quote #1

I stopped working a few years ago because I just lost a spark that I’d had before. I thought I’d just try writing, and maybe start directing, but I did it very quietly Picture Quote #1

I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am Picture Quote #1

I have always been a writer of letters, and of long ones; so, when I first thought of writing a book in the form of letters, I knew that I could do it quickly and easily Picture Quote #1
