My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.
I find myself evil. I believe in the devil as much as God. You can use either one to get things done.
When I'm at my grandparents', I know I literally have to do nothing but relax, enjoy myself, and enjoy my family members' company.
I went to England for five months when I was in high school, by myself, so I did experience a bit of being the fish out of water.
I was a book editor for nine years. I'm familiar with the opposite experience, bracing myself for the likelihood that no one would want to publish my book.
I don't overthink when I'm styling. I kind of forgive myself and accept that I will make mistakes. Getting dressed should be a fun experience!
Having struggled with food issues and eating disorders myself, particularly when I was younger, I've long been interested in using it within my books.
I was the youngest of six kids, so yeah, feeding myself was important, but it's not like I was obsessed with food growing up.
I consider myself a kind of a one-man government-in-exile. I don't want to call it a government - let's call it one man's idea of American freedom in exile.
My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way.
I'm starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren't amending; they're shifting.
I don't think of myself as a movie star. I'm a movie worker. I come from a railroad family. I come from the corn.
To me, money is the ability to create lifelong experiences for my family and myself, to educate my children and a way to give back to humanity.
Nobody's perfect, but I hold myself accountable. I think about the choices I make because they not only affect me, they affect all of my fans and my family.
I am an avid hunter and marksman, and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives.
I didn't feel a specific pressure to prove myself because I had an actor in the family. I didn't feel that pressure to fill some big shoes or anything.
I'd like to someday see myself married to my true love and starting a big family, and at the same time still having an artistic job.
I'm a woman who eventually will get married and have kids - adopted at this point - but I see myself with a family and less time to commit to wanting to be a lead character.
I was always an Olsen. I never thought of myself as a Brady. I never actually wanted to be a Brady. I always preferred my own family to the Bradys.
I think of myself as a very ordinary person. I like writing about the juxtaposition between people: the beauty of them at times and then the banal, everyday context in which we find ourselves.
