I enjoy co-directing or even being there just for support because you get to see your script come to aural life in front of you.
I was born in 1970 in Illinois, but all the life I remember I've spent in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Poor Harper Seven Beckham, having to live with that name all her life. It's the Boy Named Sue syndrome; at the very least it will toughen her up.
My clothes are fabulous - colourful, fun and by some very special designers. They deserve a better life than being sleeping beauties in a bed of tissue inside a trunk.
For me, in some ways, my whole life is a bit performative and always has been - because I'm stared at and looked at everywhere I go.
If Moses had gone to Harvard Law School and spent three years working on the Hill, he would have written the Ten Commandments with three exceptions and a saving clause.
I think I would have been a hopeless spy. I love telling stories and am almost entirely unable to keep a secret.
I love Lauryn Hill, Tracy Chapman, Fiona Apple. People like that. People you can really connect to on the most basic human level.
I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think.
Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.
I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.
I love what I do. If I had my time over again, I'd probably do it for nothing.
I'm a huge karaoke person even though I have the worst singing voice. When you love doing something, who cares?
I think I would love to have dinner with Gandhi; Jesus Christ; Mother Theresa; Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA; and Madonna.
I can't keep myself from playing roles. The emotionless decadent, looking for diversion from boredom, is a favorite.
If Monsieur X spent an eternity studying treatises on optics, he would never paint 'La Grande Jatte.'
The news is the one thing the networks can point to with pride. Everything else they do is crap, and they know it.
'The Guardian,' with its deep journalistic traditions, is careful about context and explanation. It sees itself as a gatekeeper, and it worries about consequences.
'Green' does not have to mean the sort of hair-shirt, wood-burning-stove sensibility of the '70s. Green can and should be sleek and modern.
I actually don't know how magazines are produced, I'll be honest with you. I have no idea.
