"I like that I stick out. I was watching “Valentine’s Day” on the plane recently. I have a tiny part in that movie. I was watching all the women — Jessica Biel, and Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. They are gorgeous women, and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but they all do have a very classical look, with a very thin nose. I’m watching this parade of these faces and then, boom, it was my face, and I was taken aback. I was like, “Oh, my nose is so big!” I have never in my life thought I had a big nose, but, well, there it was.

The first time I was on TV, on “Flight of the Conchords,” someone put up a YouTube clip and said, “You’re too ugly to be on TV.” And I was like, “That is exactly why it’s a good thing that I’m on TV.” - Kristen Schaal, goddess

And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing.

These are the nicest docs pages I’ve seen in a while. Simple and informative.

And it has been
one hell
of a year.
I have worn
the seasons
under my sleeves,
on my thighs,
running down my cheeks.
This is what
surviving
looks like, my dear.

This could be useful for a more accessible take on MOTU Artist’s page. Notice how activities are naming user tasks in a way and name-dropping at the same time. You get a better feeling for what’s possible with immediate credibility. So instead of, here’s the Pink Floyd producer, name what specifically he does with MOTU products and back that with the fact that he’s the Pink Floyd producer. 

record moments, fleeting impressions, overheard dialogue, your own sadnesses and bewilderments and joys.

Ted Hughes on writing

1 Write only when you have something to say.
2 Never take advice from anyone with no investment in the outcome.
3 Style is the art of getting yourself out of the way, not putting yourself in it.
4 If nobody will put your play on, put it on yourself.
5 Jokes are like hands and feet for a painter. They may not be what you want to end up doing but you have to master them in the meanwhile.
6 Theatre primarily belongs to the young.
7 No one has ever achieved consistency as a screenwriter.
8 Never go to a TV personality festival masquerading as a literary festival.
9 Never complain of being misunderstood. You can choose to be understood, or you can choose not to.
10 The two most depressing words in the English language are “literary fiction”.

David Hare, writing tips.

Excerpt from "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus

The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.

If one believes Homer, Sisyphus was the wisest…

Wintertime sniffles.

Okie: I'm not feeling so good. sore throat and my nose is kind of stuffy.
Drew: I have some nasal decongestant if you want some of that.
Okie: some of what?
Drew: You know, western medicine.
Okie: Is it organic?
Drew: It's not a naturally occurring color.

"It’s important to forgive."
“What have you had the hardest time forgiving?”
“I’m not sure.”
“When have you most needed forgiveness?”
“Not sure about that either. I’m not talking about anything big, really. I’m talking about all the small things that need forgiveness. Stuff with your brothers and sisters and friends. Forgiveness keeps relationships moving. Without forgiveness, everything comes to an end.”

A thing that happened yesterday

That doesn’t sound like a free pass. It sounds like you confronted a stranger really peacefully about hate speech that’s become so ingrained in him it’s habit. That took a lot of courage.

I was at an intersection in Davis Square around 4:15 when an older white man next to me stepped into the crosswalk and into oncoming traffic, all against the right-turn light. He nearly got hit by a turning car, so he flipped off the lady in the driver’s seat and shouted, “Fuck you!” She pointed…

Long before she was a poet and writer and the icon we know today, Dr. Angelou was a dancer and singer of folk and calypso songs (she even recorded an album in 1957 called “Miss Calypso” and appeared in the film “Calypso Heat Wave” that same year.
