I am a great procrastinator. When the writing is going really well, the laundry piles up.

I am going to be a great actress.

I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am.

I think it's harder than ever to be an artist. I think that you end up, especially as a middle-aged person, you pay such big consequences for saying, 'I'm just going to devote my life to making art,' or 'I'm going to devote my life to writing novels.' You end up with no resources.

I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am. What you see is what you get.

I'm thinking about past events. I'm interested in recall, exact recall, of what was said, who said it and to whom. I want to know the truth, undistorted by time and revision and wishes and regrets.
